Elsa slipped away on April 18, 2022 and is now at peace. She leaves behind to mourn, her husband Tony Zavarelli; his children: Mario (Adriana) Zavarelli, Rose (Leo) Zavarelli, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Elsa will also be dearly missed by her children: Victor (Debbie) Woike and Ellen Hearsey; four grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew her.
