With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Elaine Marie Rozhon. Elaine passed away peacefully on Dec. 18, 2023, in Lake Havasu City.
Born on Dec. 29, 1946, to Robert and Kathleen Schaeppi, Elaine grew up in Colton, California with her sister, Marian and brother, Jimmy. She graduated from Colton High School in 1964, which is where she met her husband, Bill Rozhon.
Elaine and Bill married on April 1, 1966, and relocated to Rialto, California. The happy couple welcomed their son, Robby, in 1969 and their daughter, Shelly, in 1973. The family began to regularly vacation in Lake Havasu City, growing a deep love for the small town and its beautiful lake.
In the 70s, Elaine and Bill became heavily involved in the stock car racing community, which would become a major cornerstone of their lives.
In 1993, Elaine became a grandmother. There was no better job for Elaine than that of being a grandma. By 1998, Elaine had four grandkids, Shelby, Jeremy, Dani, and Alex.
In 2005, following Bill's retirement, the couple decided to pursue reopening an abandoned racetrack in Lake Havasu City. They sold their Rialto home and moved into their Havasu vacation home and opened Havasu 95 Speedway in 2006.
At the track, Elaine worked in driver registration and was the first person to greet racers. She had an unbelievable knack for remembering every racer, their family members, or what they had going on in their lives.
In 2014, Elaine became a great-grandmother. By 2023, she was the proud great-grandma of six great-grandkids, Taylor, Sadie, Cooper, Walker, Nolan, and Natalie.
Elaine's legacy will continue to shine in the hearts and minds of all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Her kindness, love, warmth, and devotion to her family will never be forgotten.
Services were entrusted to the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
