Elaine Katherine D'Esposito

She was born May 15, 1950, in Jersey City to Gertrude and Ralph D'Esposito. She was the eldest of 11 children, Helen, Elyse, Patricia, Ralph Jr., Margaret, William, Daniel, Vincent, Robert, and Anthony.

Elaine was a supportive, active, and loving mother. She loved being part of her family and children's lives. She watched her boys win state championships in football and her daughter in state soccer competitions. One of her biggest joys was being part of the PTA in Jersey City/Kearny, before moving her family to Eastham in 1985. This is where Elaine continued to raise her family, which was her top priority. While doing so, she worked at the Homeport Restaurant in Orleans to eventually owning her own House Cleaning Business.

Elaine's interests were clamming, playing bingo, thrift shopping, and watching sunsets. She also had a love for her pets. Fluffy, Gizmo, and Ziggy were treated just like they were her children. But the one memory that we will always have is the happiness and laughter she brought to everyone who knew her.

Elaine is survived by her daughter Lisa Rodriguez, and 3 sons and their spouses, Angelo Rodriguez, Anthony Rodriquez, Joseph and Ryanna Caivano; and 8 grand-children, 3 great grand-children, and partner Michael Leinbach; and all of the Trautz Family.

She was preceded in death by her brother Daniel, her sister Helen, and her partner Big Al Trautz.

Relatives and friends will be invited for a Celebration of Life at a later date.
