Elena is survived by her ex-husband Armando; three sons, Ed, Andres and his wife Carolina, and Alvaro and his wife Julie; three grandchildren, Roberto, Alicia and Antonio, who were the light of her life as well as 6 great-grandchildren from her granddaughters, Ingrid Munoz (Brandon Horton) and Chantal Christiansen (Marty Christiansen). Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, who will forever remember her warmth and kindness and the joy she brought into their lives.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to organizations dedicated to dementia research.
