F. Nau Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Stark Memorial Funeral Home and Cremation Services on Jan. 5, 2026.
Sebring-F. Elaine Nau, 84, went home to be with the Lord on December 30, 2025.

Elaine was born on April 29, 1941, in Canton, OH, a daughter of the late Elmer and Melba (Hartel) Nau.

She attended Reedurban Grade School and Perry High School. For 38 years, she dedicated her talents to Malone College in the kitchen and housekeeping departments. Never driving, Elaine faithfully walked to work each day. Her commitment was not merely a job but gave her purpose and joy as she became a beloved member of the campus community that she held so dear.

An avid sports fan, Elaine's enthusiasm was infectious. Her unwavering support and familiar presence in the stands made her one of the Pioneers' biggest fans.

Elaine leaves to carry on her memory, her loving sisters, Eloise (Roger) Bacon of Lisbon, OH, Melody (George) Hatfield Chillicothe, OH, and Eleanor Brosious of Goldenrod, FL.

There will be no public calling hours or services.

Memorial donations may be made in Elaine's name to Aultman Hospice, who provided comfort and compassionate care, by going online at Aultman.org/hospicegifts or by sending a check made payable to The Aultman Foundation, 2600 Sixth Street SW, Canton, OH 44710.
