Elissa DeBARONE-RING Obituary
Age 72, of Denver, CO, formerly of Huber Heights, passed away Sunday, December 26, 2021. Elissa led a monumentally accomplished life as a Director of Communications in Health Care, a Grant Writer for Non-Profits, and as a Professor of Communications. She was an active member of St. Peter Catholic Church for many years.
Elissa was known for her fiery personality, her relentless work-ethic, her calm stoicism, her selfless generosity, and most importantly her Italian-style
hospitality, which has been helping everyone break their diets since 1973. Anyone that knew her would agree that she was a force to be reckoned with. Her influence as a writer and
educator will light the way for generations to come.
Elissa was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Steven J.; and parents, Aldo and Elena DeBarone. She is survived by her son, Marc V. Ring and his fiancé, Jenna Bonisolli, her grandson Breck Kelly-Ring, and a gaggle of the most wonderful friends.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, January 4th from 5:00-7:00 PM at Marker & Heller Funeral Home, Huber Heights Chapel, 5844 Old Troy Pike.
A Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 AM Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at St. Peter Catholic Church, 6161 Chambersburg Road. Interment at Calvary Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will
follow at Dayton Country Club from 1:30-3:30 PM.
If desired, memorial contributions may be made to Alzheimer's Association (alz.org) in Elissa's memory.

I learned of Elissa's death after my 2022 Christmas card was returned. Then I Googled and found out she had been gone for a year. We were friends at UGA back in the early 70s and had so many good times with her and with Steve and Bob & Janie Pruett. I always looked forward to her news at Christmas. I will miss my friend. Condolences to you, Marc, although it is rather delayed. There is no limit on missing your mother, though.

Hi Marc, I was so surprised and saddened to hear of your mother´s passing. She was such an amazing woman and so very proud of you and your accomplishments. Our conversations always started with how is Michael and his family, but would always end with where you were and what you were doing and who you were seeing and all that you were accomplishing. I so enjoyed talking with your mom. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel through this difficult time. Remember she will be with you daily and you can talk to her anytime as I do with my father. Love to you.

Hi Marc, my sincerest condolences on the passing of your mother. I was saddened when I heard of the news today. I worked with Elissa in the late 90s at Bethany Village. To say that she adored you is an understatement! She was a joy to work with and always put a smile on my face as well as others around her. May peace be with you during this difficult time.

So sad to hear this! Elissa was such a wonderful person. I worked several years for her at Western Ohio when our children were growing up and we would have such fun talking about the craziness of being a mother. I will forever have great memories with Elissa. Hoping you all stay strong during this difficult time!
