OBITUARY:	Elizabeth Nina Roemisch Elizabeth Nina Roemisch died Jan. 7, 2008, at University Hospitals in Cleveland, as a result of head injuries she received from a fall Dec. 23, 2007. She was a strong 98 years old. Mrs. Roemisch was fond of saying that she lived 55 minutes of every hour. She was passionate about her life and wanted to live to be 100, and battled through extensive burns, arthritis, cancer and a stroke to fulfill her goal. She was a lifelong resident of Willoughby Hills until the past five years, when she moved to Painesville. Her enthusiasm for life was demonstrated in her commitment to her business ventures. Long before society labeled entrepreneurial women as "feminists," Mrs. Roemisch had her own small businesses. At 19, she formed her own interior design firm and specialized in residential remodeling to ease the burdens of house keeping. She married M. Alfred Roemisch Dec. 24, 1933. She helped him build his law practice into a success. From secretary to bookkeeper to legal assistant to hostess, she was at his side. During her association with his business clients, Mrs. Roemisch learned about investment strategies and the stock market. Through study and practical experience, she became a private investor and successfully managed a multi-million portfolio. In fact, her accident occurred while she was doing end of the year planning. Because of her commitment to the entrepreneurial spirit, she joined her husband in 1978, to create the Roemisch Foundation. It is a fully funded private family foundation that gives and administers educational scholarships to students at Cleveland State University, Lakeland Community College and Lake Erie College in Painesville, who demonstrate a commitment to small business enterprise. She freely encouraged young women to consult with her about their business dreams. In 1988, she joined her daughter, Elaine R. Crane, the former Willoughby Municipal Court Judge, in the purchase, preservation and reopening of the historic Riders Inn in Painesville. Using her design talents and business acumen, she helped her daughter and later her granddaughter bring the business back to life for the community. She was involved in every detail of the restoration and daily operations. Her devotion to her faith never wavered. As a 50 year member of St. Christopher's Church in Gates Mills, she served on the Altar Guild, founded the Junior Altar Guild and helped out at the Bargain Box and Church outreach. She was an active member of the Willoughby Chapter of Eastern Star 202. Mrs. Roemisch and her husband were devoted baseball and football fans. In his honor, she sponsored the Lake County Knights and treasured their Division and State Titles. As an avid golfer, she and her husband were members of the Pine Ridge Country Club. She enjoyed the arts and was a member of the Gates Mills Players and a donor to the Cleveland Literacy Program. A lifelong Republican, she never missed an election and served as a precinct committee woman for Willoughby Hills and as an election day volunteer. Up to the end, she was very interested in the '08 Presidential campaigns. Mrs. Roemisch was born Oct. 28, 1909, to Elizabeth Hillier Francis and Robert Francis in Cleveland. She and her husband lived in Garfield Heights after their marriage and moved to Willoughby in 1938. She was the only girl in a family of five children. Her brothers were, Earl, Russell, Tom and Harry. Her daughter, Elaine Roemisch Crane survives, but she lost five other children at birth. She was proud of her granddaughter, Elizabeth Courtney Crane-Sherman; and her adopted grandchildren, Christine, Christopher, Dawn, Priscilla, Janice, Kimberly and Donna. She also loved her son-in-law, Francis "Ted" Sherman; and longtime family friend and business partner, Judge Gary W. Herman. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Roemisch Scholarship Foundation and mailed in care of, Robert Myers, Attorney-at-Law, 36601 Chardon Road, Willoughby Hills, OH 44094.
