Elvia was devoted to her family. She was never too busy to listen to their cares and concerns, and always had a solution that would soon ease their problems. Elvia enjoyed cooking fantastic meals for her family and friends. She would light up the room at parties and family gatherings, touching the hearts of all of whom she knew.

Elvia believed in a non-judgmental lifestyle. She was known as a rebel, especially when it came to being a grandmother, no matter if the children were actually her own or just visiting. Elvia would often times be found playing games with them, and of course, treating them to cookies and candies !
