Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Beloved wife, mother, nana, sister, aunt and cherished friend. Elaine went home to be with the Lord on December 16, 2025, at the age of 66.
Elaine is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Rose Piazza Sr., sister, Roseann Piazza and sister-in-law, Lisa Piazza.
She is loved deeply and survived by her husband of 42 years, Ronald Hartfiel Sr. Her beloved children, Kari (Chris) Atwood, Ronald (Allison) Hartfiel Jr., and Denise (Jeremy) Hill. Her cherished grandchildren, Isabella and Angelina Pedreira, Jacob and Lucas Hill, Avery and Ryker Hartfiel. Her loving family: sisters, Ann (David) Oliver, Marie Piazza (Richard Wright), Carmella (Kenny) Trebbe and her brother, Charles Piazza Jr. Father and mother-in-law, James and Bonita Hartfiel, sisters-in-law, Vicki (David) Cobb and Beth Hartfiel-Balestiere, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends whose lives she greatly touched.
Elaine’s greatest joy was her family. She loved spending time with her husband (aka her honey). It was life’s simple pleasures that brought them happiness. She embodied the best of qualities- unconditional love and an unending generosity that could be seen in the way she cared for her family and friends. She brought warmth and comfort into every space, making her house a true home where her husband and her children were nurtured, supported and loved. Her heart was full when she was surrounded by her grandchildren. They are her legacy and greatest pride. Elaine loved animals, cooking meals that brought everyone together, long phone conversations, Sunday football- especially cheering on the Buffalo Bills, playing euchre and trips to the casino to play keno. These were the moments that made her smile, laugh, and truly enjoy life.
Elaine’s life was a blessing, her memory a treasure, she is loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Friends may call Monday (January 5th) 4-7pm at Vay-Schleich and Meeson, 1075 Long Pond Road. Her Celebration of Life will be held Tuesday (January 6th) 10:30 am at Calvary Chapel of the Westside, 2407 South Union Street, Spencerport, NY.

So sorry to hear of your loss.Sending thoughts and prayers to your entire family 💐
I’m so sorry. She was such a nice person. She is in my prayers.💕
Such a shock to hear this about my wonderful cousin. Still remember her trip to California in 1988 and my visit to Rochester in 2005. I grieve for her siblings/my other cousins and children. I know how close you all are in New York. I often talk fondly of having an authentic Italian experience in 2005 since her Uncle Sam Piazza/my father was mostly detached from the culture in California. Rest in peace sweet Elaine. Love Matt Piazza
Very sorry for your loss. Prayers and thoughts for the family. I have many memories from our childhood days. Deepest condolences
