About my Mom: Elaine Nowicki
 

On behalf of my parents, Mark & Elaine Nowicki, it is with profound sadness that I share the loss of my Mom. She passed away early this morning following a valiant four-month battle with pancreatic cancer. To my Dad, she was his everything: his best friend of over 50 years, his lover & wife of 47 years, the mother of me (his only child) & an exceptional homemaker, his encouraging cheerleader & consummate crew chief. However, on the day of her diagnosis in early September, the roles were immediately reversed between my parents and my Dad instantly became HER caretaker and cheerleader: a beautiful twist to their epic love story. While our heart breaks at her loss, we know the world, along with our racing community, was better having had her in it. God bless each of you for your thoughts, prayers, flowers, gifts, visits, text messages & telephone calls during her illness. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers, especially my Dad. And I thank you in advance for helping me prop him up as he grieves. May her soul rest in the peace of Heaven.

- Brandie (Nowicki) Meisner

Her funeral arrangements are as follows:
Nelson Funeral Home; Gaylord, MI
Friday January 4, 2019 Visitation 12pm – 8pm
St. Mary Cathedral
Saturday January 5, 2019 Visitation 10am; Mass of Christian Burial 11am

I am so sorry Mark, Brandie and the whole Nowicki family as I loved Elaine cause she always asked how i was doing and loved seeing and hearing about my grand kids. This is a big blow to me, she was a smiling face i always looked forward to at the races. Once again condolences to the whole Nowicki family.

I am so saddened by this news. I first meet Elaine when they were pitted next to us probably 10 years ago at the Palm Beach IHRA race. I instantly took a liking to Elaine and from that point on she always had a smile and hug for me when we saw each other. She was somebody that made you feel happy to be around. I am grateful to have known Elaine and will certainly miss her.

Mark and Brandie, you are in our prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mark and family. Elaine was always very nice and thoughtful. I think every time we spoke in the staging lanes, I was always greeted with a hug.

Buck and I are devastated to hear this news. Elaine was without question the nicest lady I have ever met. When Mark was injured in Vegas Buck sat with her at the hospital and she told him of their great love story. Our deepest sympathy to Mark, Brandi and her beloved grandsons. We are all better people to have known her.

Re: About my Mom: Elaine Nowicki
 

I was shocked and very saddened to hear of Elaine's passing..............Had I known I would have loved to visit with her. If not the nicest lady overall, she was one of the best, always there to greet with a hug and that smile. I will miss her. Mark, Brandie and the rest of the Family, you have our sympathy and Mark if you need anything, please let us know! The racing community is always there.
We have lost to many Friends to this disease, two of my very close one's Rich Feldman & Dave Layer and I'm sure many more that I didn't have the pleasure of meeting. Rick & Bev Brown
