Effie Mae Daniels, Fondly referred to as Sis, Aunt Sis, Momma, Granny, Mother Daniels, and Suga Puddin’ peacefully passed away on December 17, 2021 surrounded by loved ones. Effie was born April 11, 1934 in Sledge Mississippi to Howard and Correan (Lobley) Franks. She was the sixth of eight children.

In the early 1950’s Effie married LC Taylor. Their union lasted 28 years and produced 6 children; Lionel, Bernard, Diane, Aaron Lewis, Winfred, and Gregory-Scott. Their family was the first African American family to integrate the city of Kettering in the late 1960’s.

Effie was also a lifelong member of the Church of God Sanctified, where she served in fellowship under Bishop John H. Buffington. Here she made lifelong friendships and they raised their families together.  Effie truly possessed a servant's heart. She made sure to extend love, hugs, food or shelter for anyone in need. On May 5th, 1984 Effie married Vernon L. Daniels at Faith Deliverance Church of God in Christ.Where they both became members and she served on the mother and usher board.  Effie has always played a very full and active role in the lives of those who called her Granny. 

She was a very fun, loving, outgoing, and creative spirit. You’d often catch her singing, painting her ceramics, sewing or cooking. In her golden years Effie also worked as a senior companion where she often taught her grand and great grands about her compassionate service. 

She was definitely known for being an amazing cook and her Peach Cobbler is considered to be the best you’ll ever have. Her infectious laugh and knee slap followed by “Oh me “will always be remembered and terribly missed. 

She is preceded in death by her parents the late Howard and Correan Frank,  Her late husband Vernon L. Daniels, husband from previous marriage LC Taylor, Siblings SD, Nemroy, MD, Richard and Iziah Franks.
