Elaine Stickler Buddenbohn, 88, passed away at Brethren Village, Lititz, PA on Tuesday, January 9, 2018. Formerly of Ocean City, Maryland and Pompton Plains, New Jersey, she was born in Baltimore to the late Gerard T. and Helen (Lewis) Stickler. She graduated from Seton High School in Baltimore and, at the age of eighteen, married E. Stanton Buddenbohn, with whom she built a large, busy, loving, and fun family and life over the fifty-one years they shared together before his death in 2000. A spitfire, full of spunk, Elaine dedicated herself to raising her four children, and was always heavily involved in their activities and in the communities where she lived. Elaine and Stanton's home was full of the best kind of noise, and all were welcome at their table – or at least for a cocktail and crab bite. She cultivated life-long friendships and loved the beach, bowling, and her large and growing family. While raising her children in Pompton Plains, NJ, Elaine was very involved with Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Church and the Rosary Altar Society in Pequannock, NJ. She also served as PTO President, ran many school fundraisers, and was the Girl Scout Neighborhood Chair. Following Stanton's retirement, Elaine and Stanton moved to Ocean City, Maryland, where they built a home and became embedded in the community. Elaine was involved in many civic organizations in Ocean City, including the Women's Club, of which she served as President for several terms, and the Irish Club. In fact, despite their lack of Irish blood, Elaine and Stanton proudly served as Grand Marshals of the Ocean City St. Patrick's Day Parade one unforgettable year. Following Stanton's death, Elaine moved to Pennsylvania to be closer to family. For fourteen years she lived at Freedom Village in West Brandywine, where she was an ambassador, served on the Residents' Advisory Council, and chaired the Decorating Committee. The last six months of her life were spent at Brethren Village. Elaine is survived by her children, Barbara A., wife of Dr. Thomas H. Yingling, of Lancaster, PA; Robert S. Buddenbohn, husband of Louise, of Bend, OR; Thomas L. Buddenbohn, husband of Rebecca, of Arlington, TX; and Jean B. Rossell of South Coventry, PA; her nine grandchildren, eight (soon to be nine) great-grandchildren, and her sister, Dolores, wife of Charles Voelkel.
