Dr. Elsa J. Lake

Dra. Lake, Ud. es mi profesora favorita. Ud. me enseñaba mucho, y le recordaré a Ud. por siempre. Muchismas gracias por todo.

Rest in Peace to one of my favorite OTHS teachers whom was a true gem and a fantastic educator. She taught me to not memorize but truly learn to speak the language of Spanish. I will never forget the memories of her classroom. The special platform in the front of her room built especially for her because she was so short. A strict but fair educator whom often called her students by last name. A true one of a kind whom made a lasting impression on my life.

God Bless You

Elsa was such a wonderful woman!! Always pleasant, always had kind words for everyone.
I first met her while working at Sovereign/Santander Bank and my husband was her Landscaper. We loved her!!!
Our condolences to her family, she will be truly missed!!

I had the privilege to work with Dr. Lake at Monmouth University. As both immigrants we shared stories. She comforted me when I was missing my family. She was a wonderful person. You will be missed Elsa.

Dr. Lake. What a great person. She would always call me Miguelito. I remember when she first came to teach at Ocean Township High School. We gave her such a hard time, but in a nice way. She always kept her cool and was not only a great teacher, but someone you could count on then and always to have an ear for you or an idea. She's probably surfing the Milky Way already.

Dr. Lake - Mi profesora favorita, siempre estas en mi corazon y pienso en ti cuando enseno a mis estudiantes. Gracias por todo.

I loved Elsa!! I have helped her for at least 20 years with her jewelry purchases for her family from Earth Treasures. I would say to her, "I would love to meet your family because you adore each and every one of them." She always would say "I have to give my Nieces certain items so they will have remembrance of me." I would say "Don't be silly that's not going to happen for a long time!!" Elsa came in to see me a few weeks ago. She was happy that Monmouth University was finished for the...

Elsa was a powerful presence and a dear, respected colleague. She gave more in life than death could ever take away. My sympathies to her family as you keep fond memories of Elsa alive in your heartsSincerely, Judy Treharne (OTHS)
