Elaine Regedanz, cherished mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2026, at the Cleveland Clinic after a long and courageous battle. Born on February 4, 1965, in Celina, Ohio, Elaine brought warmth and joy to everyone she encountered.

Elaine was the beloved daughter of the late Ralph E. and Freda L. (Chaney) Regedanz. Her legacy continues through her devoted sons, Kyle (Ashley) Stith, Adam (Kristen) Stith, and Aaron (Stephanie Jacobs) Stith, who were the center of her world. She was the proud grandmother to nine beautiful grandchildren: Kodi, Hayden, Leah, Kolten, Luke, Alivia, Rylee, Jace, and Noah, whom she loved beyond measure.

Elaine's journey began in Celina, where she was a three-year graduate of Celina High School. It was there that she met Steve Stith, with whom she had their three sons.

Elaine's career brought her great joy as she worked at Arnie's Corner in Montezuma, Pullman Bay in Celina, and Fleetwood in Decatur, until she retired for medical reasons. Her colleagues and customers cherished her for her kindness and dedication.

Her true passion was her family. Elaine spent her life nurturing her children and showering her grandchildren with love and affection. Her porch was a sanctuary where she enjoyed the simple pleasures of life-sharing laughter and stories with friends and family while sipping an ice-cold diet Pepsi.

Elaine was known for her boundless love and unwavering support. She was the rock for many, always available to lend an ear and offer comfort. Her strength and compassion left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

Elaine is survived by her siblings, Marla (Kevin) Mallory, Karen Regedanz, Julie (Bob) Vantilburg, Darrin (Becky) Regedanz, Kevin (Megan) Regedanz, and Linda Regedanz, numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her dear friends, Karen (Fred) Caskey and Tambra (Josh) Kimmel, who stood by her side through life's joys and challenges. She was predeceased by her dear parents and brothers Larry and Darrell Regedanz, as well as Charlene Regedanz, Lloyd K. and Harriet A. Stith.

Elaine's family invites those who wish to honor her memory to consider a donation to a charity of their choice, reflecting Elaine's spirit of giving and kindness.

Elaine will be remembered for her unwavering love, her strength in adversity, and her ability to find joy in life's simple moments. Her laughter and spirit will forever echo in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
