Elaine Kathryn (Vucco) Maggs

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, Elaine Kathryn Maggs, age 83, of Newton Falls, OH, passed away at University Hospital in Cleveland, OH. She was born  March 12, 1942, in Warren, OH to Joseph and Luby (Klabutar) Vucco.

She raised four children in Howland, Ohio, while dedicating thirty years of service to Packard Electric. After retiring at the age of 52, she and her late husband (Bill Maggs) moved to South Carolina until she returned to Ohio in 2019.

Elaine was an avid supporter of the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Guardians, admired for her deep knowledge of team statistics and players. Her enthusiasm extended to NASCAR, where she rarely missed a race. Christmas was especially meaningful to her—each year she transformed her home with elaborate decorations that brought joy to all who visited.

Her interests included reading, sewing, shopping for loved ones, and watching Westerns. She took great pleasure in finding thoughtful gifts, whether browsing in stores or online. Known for her love of vibrant colors, purple was her signature hue—often reflected in her hair.

She is survived by her children, Cindy (Russell) Young of Southington OH, Jeff (Renee) Dallas of Olathe KS, John Dallas of Newton Falls, OH, and Nikki (Kelly) Japuncha of Howland OH; her grandchildren, Heather (Nick) Amberger, Jerry Wilkerson II, Mitch Dallas, Johnny Dallas, Katie Sorak, Anne (Ja'Sean) Palmer, Dan (Courtney) Young, Michael (Clara) Young, Tara Rosheim; and 12 great-grandchildren.

Besides her parents, Elaine was preceded in death by her siblings Rick, Joe, and Maryanne.

A private service and celebration of life will be held with family and friends.

Elaine’s memory will live on through those who knew and loved her.
