Tete Elaine was my inspiration, my second mom and role model. I will miss her fiesty personality and sense of humor. Life just won’t be the same without her.
Our Tete was a feisty lady with a huge heart. She was a second grandmother to me and my siblings and a second mother to our Rosie. She was quick-witted, never afraid to speak her mind and was always available for counsel. I love you dearly Tete. I will miss our talks, your sayings (Oh caca on you!) and your support. I have and will always look up to you. Love Mitzi
So sorry to hear that Cappy has passed. She was my mentor when I Became a nursing supervisor and continued to be a wealth of information as I transitioned into another department. She was a mother hen to us all. I will surely miss her sense of humor. Heaven is lucky to have her! Toni Gurskey
Elaine (Cappy), was one of the best nurses! I worked in WMC for 31 years on 8th floor. There was never a situation she couldn’t handle. She would even pitch in, helping make beds or help us move patients around to make room for admissions. Her sense of humor and the sound of her laughter will stay with me forever. She belonged to the WMC retirees group and was one of my callers. RIP Cappy. Your shift has ended. Job well done. We will miss you.
Elaine was one of the best and level headed nurses I have ever know. She was a rock in a difficult situation and always put the patient first while always supporting doing what was right in every situation. When you needed everyday advice she was a rock there to as she listened with complete interest. As a person and as a nurse she was a model you would strive to imitate. I will never forget what an amazing person she was. Her memory will live forever in my heart. Love to you always! Barb Majoris
“Cappy” always made me smile when she was working! Always upbeat and positive, with a great sense of humor! She and my mom (Mary Orecchio) were “old school” as nursing supervisors: mentors and teachers, firm yet fair! Lost art! I will miss her greatly!
Cappy was an inspiration to all of us. She always had a smile and a kind word. I was blessed to have known her. She will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. She was a kind and beautiful woman and neighbor. May she be at peace. Stephanie Visnic
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. When someone we love dies, it’s natural to want to see that person again. God promises us that He will comfort us in our trials if we go to him in prayer. 2 Corinthians 1:3 calls him the God of all comfort. I’d like to share with y’all this link that shows 12 steps on coping with grief that is good for sharing. I have personally found this very comforting and I hope y’all do as well. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102018086&srcid=share
Bill, Nancy and families, I am very sorry for your loss. Elaine was a wonderful neighbor and always there to answer questions about our parents’ medical conditions in her roles at the hospital. I remember many happy afternoons sitting in Tete Rose’s kitchen talking with her and Elaine.
