Meg Royse Obituary (1961 - 2024)

Meg Michelle Royse, known affectionately as Aunt Moe, passed away on November 3, 2024, in Canton, Ohio. Born on September 23, 1961, in Hammond, Indiana. Meg dedicated over two decades to a fulfilling career in the healthcare industry, where her innate empathy and commitment profoundly impacted those she cared for. Meg's life was a beacon of joy and love, especially towards her family, who were her world. Her ability to transform every holiday into a magical celebration and her knack for hosting with the warmest hospitality are memories her family will cherish forever. She delighted in cooking large Italian meals, a skill lovingly taught by her in-laws, Nana and Papa Sidote. Her home was a haven of cozy chairs, warm blankets, and hot cups of chai, always ready for movie nights. An adventurous spirit, Meg was always up for a good prank, and she reveled in the simple pleasures of life, like fishing, gardening, and her happiest days surrounded by family and her beloved dogs. Meg is survived by her son, Michael Sidote; daughter, Lindsey Sidote (Christopher Price); sister, Elizabeth Royse (Walter Hemker); sister, Amy Royse; niece, Katherine Lockard (Richard); niece, Elizabeth Kelly (Carter Piekarski); nephew, Luke Kelly; brother-in-law, Thomas Sidote; and cousins, Van and Roland Qualkinbush. She was preceded in death her by husband Frank Sidote and her parents, Warren and Mary Royse, and Frank and Basilia Sidote. A Celebration of Life service will be announced at a later date. Meg's light, love, and humor have left an indelible mark on all who knew her, and she will be profoundly missed.
