Noelle L. Eldridge

Noelle Linn Eldridge, a cherished soul of Pataskala, Ohio, peacefully passed away on June 3, 2026, at the age of 54. Born on November 22, 1971, in Columbus, Ohio, Noelle's life was a tapestry of love, affection, and an unwavering bond with both her family and her friends whom she considered family she so dearly embraced.

Noelle was the beloved daughter of Dennis Kapowitz and the late Bonnie (Ruh) Kapowitz. Her early years were shaped by the warmth and memories of her maternal grandparents, Roy and Dorothy Ruh, and her paternal grandparents, Harry "Kap" and Shirley Kapowitz—whom she joined in eternal rest. Alongside these treasured family members, several loving aunts and uncles, as well as many special feline companions who shared her life’s journey, await her in remembrance.

To those who knew Noelle, her heart was most tenderly tied to her daughter, Kilee Armistead, whose presence brought immense joy and pride to her mother's life. She is also lovingly survived by her devoted father, Dennis Kapowitz, and his wife, Diana; her caring sister, Leslie Kapowitz-Wade, together with Leslie’s husband, Kevin; and her spirited grandchildren Bennett, Averi, and Maggie, each a precious continuation of Noelle’s legacy. Her nephew, Jacob Wade, and a network of dear friends who treasured her laughter and kindness, also carry forward her memory.

Noelle’s passions reflected her gentle spirit—a profound love for her many pet cats and all animals that made the world a kinder place in her eyes. She also found solace and inspiration in the serene beauty of lighthouses, standing tall and steadfast as symbols of hope and guidance much like the way she touched the lives around her.

Her absence creates a space that resonates deeply within the hearts of those who loved her. Noelle’s warmth, kindness, and the light she brought to the lives she touched will remain enduringly in the memories of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A Celebration of Life will be announced in the near future, allowing family and friends to gather and honor the beautiful spirit of Noelle Linn Eldridge. May we hold her memory close, cherishing the gentle love she so freely gave. She will be profoundly missed, forever loved, and eternally remembered.

Noelle made arrangements to be a cornea and tissue donor through Lifeline of Ohio. Her kindness in life will continue and potentially will help 40-50 people. We, her family, are emmensly proud of her generous gifts. 

Donations be made in honor of Noelle to the American Stroke Association here.
