Elaine lived her life to the fullest. She loved spending her time with her grandchildren, getting her makeup done by Taylor and doing silly snapchat filters with Travis. Elaine loved going on vacation, cherishing every opportunity to explore new places and the old. Every summer since she was 2 years old, she would venture up to New Hampshire to spend the week at her second home, Sandy Island, with family and life long friends. She enjoyed spending time with her husband, Angelo, and their second family, the Hudson Valley Hogs, cherishing every moment of camaraderie, laughter, and adventure they shared together.
