Elaine Canepa

Elaine, age 90, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2026. She was born on March 29, 1935, and lived a life centered on love, family, and faith.

Elaine was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dominic, as well as her cherished daughter, Karen, and is dearly remembered by Karen’s loving husband, Mark.

She is lovingly remembered by her children: Michael (Terri), Kathy (David), Janie (John), and Linda. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Rachel, Courtney, Benjamin, Kyle, Joshua, Mathew, Jordan, Jamie, Jessica, Angela, and Dominic, and a joyful great-grandmother to seven great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense pride and happiness.

Elaine was the heart of her family and truly the life of every gathering. She found joy in every excuse to celebrate, believing that life’s moments—big or small—were meant to be shared with the people she loved most. Family was everything to her, and she cherished being surrounded by them at all times.

An exceptional homemaker and hostess, Elaine was known for her warm hospitality and the care she put into welcoming others into her home. Holidays held a special place in her heart, and she eagerly looked forward to each celebration. She also enjoyed golfing, visiting the casino, and most of all, traveling—especially the many memorable cruises she shared with her husband, Dominic.

Elaine was a woman of strong Catholic faith, and her religion was a guiding and deeply important part of her life.

She will be remembered as a fun-loving, generous, and spirited woman whose presence brought light, laughter, and love wherever she went. Her legacy lives on through the family she adored and the countless memories she helped create.
