Elva was a graduate of Prospect Park High School, class of 1952 where she played field hockey and basketball. She attended Fitzgerald-Mercy Hospital School of Nursing and graduated in 1955. Elva would often talk about the many fond memories she had during her time in Prospect Park and “Fitz”. She cherished the close friends she made during those years and kept in touch with them through her life. During her nursing career she worked in many fields, including Emergency, Industrial (American Viscose), and Maternity, but she most enjoyed working in the Emergency Ward. Elva was a member of Saint

James Episcopal Church in Prospect Park where she served on the Altar Guild and taught Sunday school. Most recently she was a member of Christ Episcopal Church in Ridley Park. She was also active in the Prospect Park Alumni Association, the Prospect Park Boys Club, and the Maris Grove Bee Club.

Elva was always willing to help others. She was a caregiver to many family members and friends throughout her life. She enjoyed reading, gardening, and travel, but especially loved spending her summers in Sea Isle City, NJ. Her family was most important to her, and she made sure to always support their endeavors.
