Born in 1930 in Veroli, Italy. Elena immigrated to Canada in 1951. She worked as a hairdresser into her 80th year and was an avid gardener. She took great pride in her flower gardens. The absolute joy of her life was babysitting and spending time with her grandchildren Jeremy and Alicia. Elena’s greatest passion was preparing delicious meals for her family. We never left her home hungry.
