Klarquist (Stowe), Elaine Ann
Elaine Klarquist, age 62, passed away Sunday, December 22, 2024, surrounded by loved ones. She was an OR nurse, who worked in hospitals all over the country, including Maine, Missouri, Montana, Washington, California, and Arizona. She made easy friends wherever she went, drawing people in with her vibrant personality and infectious joy for life. Her grandsons loved her (their Gigi) deeply, joining her on countless imaginary adventures-journeys to Ireland, safaris in Africa, and daring pirate treasure hunts. She is survived in death by her parents, David and Joan Stowe; brother, David Stowe; daughter and future son-in-law, Sarah Klarquist and Jason Walker; daughter and son-in-law, Emily Klarquist and Ka'imi Kuenzli; grandsons, Cooper and Easton Walker; and many other relatives and friends.
Elaine made an anatomical donation to the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. If desired, memorial contributions can be made to Wright State University. A celebration of life may be held sometime in the future.
