Elisa was born on July 28, 1941, in Mirabella-Eclano, Italy, to Giacomo and Virginia Rosa. She immigrated to America in 1961, embracing a new life full of dreams and possibilities.

Her dedication to her family was unwavering, and her sons, Gino Tammaro of East Boston and ClaudioTammaro and his wife Kristine of Loveland, Ohio, cherished the delicious meals she prepared, especially her artichokes, tiramisu, and apple pie.

Elisa was preceded in death by her dear siblings, Giuseppe Rosa, Mario Rosa, and Filomena Guarino, but she leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories for her surviving nieces and nephews.

Elisa had a passion for life that shone through in her love of playing Bingo with friends, trying her luck with her favorite numbers, and savoring moments over espresso coffee. She enjoyed taking long walks with her husband, relishing the beauty of each day.
