Wilkinson Funeral Home

02/17/2026

This Black History Month, we proudly honor our leader, Brandee M. Wilkinson — a trailblazer, visionary, and servant to our community.
As the first Black woman to own and operate a funeral home in Akron, Ohio, she has not only made history, but she continues to shape it with compassion, excellence, and unwavering dedication. Through Wilkinson Funeral Home, she serves families with grace during their most tender moments, reminding us daily that ministry and service go hand in hand.

Thank you for breaking barriers, building community, and walking boldly in your calling.
