Elisha Gail (Dunno) Bartz

Elisha Gail (Dunno) Bartz, 45, of Auburn, Indiana, entered into the gates of heaven on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at home surrounded by her adoring family, after a two-year battle with breast cancer. Elisha was a long-time employee of Vera Bradley and then several years at Multimatic. Her favorite color was purple, she liked hydrangeas, and her favorite thing to do was spend time with her family and friends. Elisha was always the life of the party. She was very funny, happy, goofy, caring and loved to do her silly dances and speak in accents. To know her was to love her. She leaves behind her beautiful daughters, whom were the loves of her life, Elizabeth Bartz, of Auburn and Isabella Bartz, of Auburn; stepdaughter, Ashley (Ricky) Buckler, of Marion; grandson, Samuel "Sammy" Buckler, of Marion; father, Michael Dunno, of Delphos, OH; sisters, Melissa Dunno, of Fort Wayne and Trisha (Adam) Madison of Waynedale; brother, Daniel Dunno of Waynedale; nephews, Brandon, Braxton T., Braxton M., and C.J.; niece, Aleigha; great nephews, Ju'elz, Ryland, Alexander, Ju'vonni, and Ju'siah; great nieces, A'laura, Kartiair, Cara and Arya; and soul sisters, Rachel, Beth and Tina. She was preceded in death by her mother, Pruda Dunno; nephew, Devan Dunno; grandparents, Beatrice and JB Richie, Earl Dunno and Dulcie and Charlie Simpson.
