Elaine Elizabeth Gross, formerly Cormiea (nee: Hunter), passed away peacefully on January 19, 2024, in Newbury, OH. Born on May 22, 1935, to William and Alexandrina “Irene” (nee: Munnock) in Cleveland, Ohio, where she was raised and later married to Clarence C. Cormiea, Jr., in 1957. Together they embarked on a journey that led them to the Chardon area, where they raised four children and created a home filled with warmth and cherished memories.

Elaine was a beacon of joy during the holidays, where she reveled in the gathering of family and friends. She adored being the center of attention and brought laughter and merriment to every occasion. Her love for music and dancing was infectious, and she had a talent for making every moment special.

Her greatest joy in life, however, was found in caring for her family, particularly her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Elaine’s nurturing spirit and unconditional love created a legacy of warmth that will endure for generations.

Elaine is survived by her children, Scott (Sharon) Cormiea of Chardon, Mark Cormiea of Hambden, Lynn (Robert) Lax of Hiram, and Holly Cormiea of Chardon. She leaves behind 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, each a testament to the love and devotion she showered upon her family. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Clarence, Jr., in 1992, and her second husband Bob Gross in 2022.

Visitation will be held at Burr Funeral Home, 116 South Street, Chardon, Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 10:00 am, with a Service beginning at 12:00 pm. Interment immediately following at All Souls Cemetery, Chardon Township.
