Elaine was very active in our community. She was a member of the Financial Board and volunteered at St. Mary’s Hospital for many years. She was a buyer of accessories and jewelry for their gift shop, and transported patients when needed. As a child, she attended Most Precious Blood grammar school and then graduated from Gates-Chili High School. She went on to Nazareth College for undergraduate and graduate school, earning two master’s degrees in business and education. She taught in the Gates-Chili School District, and also tutored young pregnant women so they may graduate.
She was board member of the Italian American Community Center and Camp Stella Maris for many years. She was a member of the Gates Amita Club, chairwoman of the Junior Miss Scholarship Program, and a member of the Gates Women’s Republican Club promoting their political candidates. In addition, since her marriage to Louis, she was employed as the office manager at their business, Repair and Refinish Collision. For the past 7 years, she has worked at J.P. Morgan Chase as an associate banker. Elaine had many hobbies, in which baking was one of her favorites. She has touched the lives and hearts of many and will be deeply missed by all.
