Obituary for Elaina Kay Kintgen

Elaina Kay Kintgen, age 67 of Bloomington passed away Sunday morning, March 20, 2016 at the Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital. She was born March 30, 1948 in Anderson, Indiana to Harry Stoner and Doris Miller Stoner.

Elaina was a graduate of Madison Heights High School and went on to receive her undergraduate degree in Education from Indiana University. After a brief internship in teaching at Edgewood High School, she returned to Indiana University and received her MLS degree in Library Sciences. Elaina then devoted her professional career to The Monroe County Public Library, where she spent over 38 years, primarily as head of technical services.

Her interests were wide and varied. She throughly enjoyed reading, gardening, and horses. She found great pleasure with the Newfoundland dogs she and her husband raised over the years, and her involvement with the Newfoundland Dog Club of America. But found even greater pleasure in her family’s involvement with the Smithville Youth Athletics that her two sons participated in.

Elaina leaves behind her husband Gene Kintgen of Bloomington; sons Gene Kintgen and wife Ujala Dhaka-Kintgen of Fairfax, Virginia, and David Kintgen and wife Stephanie of Annapolis, Maryland; grand children Arjun Dhaka-Kintgen, and Katherine Kintgen, as well as many cousins, with whom she, being a single child, was especially close. She was preceded in death by her parents.

A gathering of friends and family to share memories of Elaina will be held Friday March 25, 2016 from 4:00PM until 7:00PM at Allen Funeral Home and Crematory 4155 South Old State Road 37. Online condolences and memories may be shared with family and friends at www.allencares.com
