Elizabeth Jane Cardani, age 83, of New Philadelphia, is dancing with the Lord after leaving her earthly home, Saturday, July 27, 2024.

She was a graduate of New Philadelphia High School on May 30, 1962, she married Robert John Cardani of Wainwright. Together the couple raised five sons and shared in 40 years of marriage prior to Bob’s passing on July 24, 2002. 

For many years, Elizabeth owned and operated Finishing Touch Drapery and worked as a seamstress. In her younger years, she was also an employee of Miller’s Studio at New Philadelphia. 

Elizabeth was deeply devoted to her faith, actively participating in Christian organizations and congregations throughout her life. Her abiding love for her family was equally evident. Beyond her Christian and family commitments, Elizabeth found joy in the simple pleasures of cooking, baking, canning, making golf ball size buckeyes for her sons and spending time in her flower gardens. She will be most fondly remembered by her grandchildren for teaching them to make homemade noodles and ravioli, passing down those cherished recipes. Aside from her loved ones, Elizabeth's canine companion, Joy, was a source of great affection and care.
