Elise Marie Billmaier

Elise M. Billmaier, 24, of Findlay, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at 9:58 a.m. Monday, Aug. 29, 2022, at her residence.

Elise was born June 9, 1998, in Findlay, to Timothy and Anna (Kinn) Billmaier and they survive along with a brother, Sam Billmaier; and her boyfriend, Kyle Hilbert.

Elise graduated from Findlay High School in 2017 and Bowling Green State University with a B.S. degree in Fine Arts in 2022. She was a talented artisan and made the world a better place with her creativity, smile, and artistic abilities. She wanted to use her gifts to become an art therapist and help others.

She loved playing softball and volleyball, watching Detroit Lions, going to concerts, and making and listening to music, especially "Harry Styles."

Elise was employed at Findlay YMCA as a camp counselor, Wolfies, and she was also an art history tutor at BGSU.

She loved all of her uncles, aunts, cousins, family, and friends. They were all there to support her through good times and bad.
