Elaine Trumpetto

You still inspire me to help CAPE to continue it's work in our community. I made a commitment to you years ago and until there is no more crisis, I plan to keep it. You are always missed.

I think about Elaine all the time. Since my promise to her to get involved with CAPE, she had always been my inspiration. My memories of her dedication keep me involved and keep me working to this organization's sustainability. Her passion continues to guide me.

I was privileged to serve on the board of C.A.P.E. with Elaine and will always remember the kindness and absolute glow that radiated from her.
Saddened to hear of her passing. Sending prayers and condolences for those who loved her.

Elaine's life left a mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her dedication and passion in making a difference in the lives of others has always been an inspiration to me. Elaine was a wonderful human being who I will remember often.

Jared and Brynna, we are so Sorry for your loss. I worked with your father John for a number of years. He was a great man and always enjoyed working for him.

Sending you strength & love for the upcoming days. We never had the chance to meet Elaine, but have heard such lovely things about her. May her name be a memory now and forever. Much Love, Aunt Judi & Uncle Gary

Elaine was a lovely person. She was one of the most caring, hard working and always on point people I know.
I am so sorry for you loss, Brynna and Jared. She will be missed.

Brynna you as well were an amazing daughter and took such wonderful care of your Mom , Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time . Sending Love and prayers , Maria and Judith Ingrassia

I worked with Elaine for nearly two decades in conjunction with her volunteer charitable endeavors and those related to C.A.P.E. Elaine's brilliance was her ability to take so little and give so much in every aspect of her life. She made a positive difference in the lives of tens of thousands of people, both those close and afar, and neither wanted nor expected any personal gratification in return. Elaine may have come closer to truly embracing the concept that "virtue is its own reward" more than anyone else that I've ever met. This thought eases my pain a bit when--as a cynical friend--I keep suggesting to myself that her lifetime of virtue justified far more years of peace and happiness than she had the opportunity to enjoy. I'm again reminded by Elaine legacy, it's not the time that you have, but what you do with it.

Elaine’s deep love of her family and her dedication to her profession and the community was such an inspiration to me. She displayed grace and courage in times of adversity and always took the time to listen to and help others. She will be deeply missed.

I met Elaine in 2017. The time I have know her is very short, but the impact of knowing her, is huge. I will always remember her kindness and her beautiful smile. Thank you Elaine, rest in peace. You will be missed very much.

There are not enough words to describe what Elaine's life and friendship has taught me. I will surely miss working with her and our occasional discussions about our lives and jobs among the other problems of world we pondered. Elaine was the living example of service above self as she never allowed her illness to slow her down. Her dedication to C.A.P.E. and it's mission was an inspiration. I will miss you Elaine but I know I will always remember you often and fondly.

I am so deeply saddened by Elaine’s passing. I am beyond thankful that Elaine took a chance on me giving me the opportunity to work as CAPE’s community educator under her direction. She was the best boss and mentor anyone could ever ask for and I will be forever grateful for everything she taught me about grace, resiliency, fairness, and tact. She made me a better person and I will continue to work hard to make her proud. We shared many talks about work, life and family and I will always be grateful for those chats and that she accepted my openess, energy and slight lack of personal boundaries. I will miss her voice, her smile, and her amazing rhetoric! She was one of a kind and I am so blessed to have had her in my life. As sad as I am I can smile a little knowing she is finally by her beloved husband’s side. My heart goes out to Brynna, Jared and all those who loved Elaine. I will miss profoundly her everyday. With Deepest Sympathy, Crissy Groenewegen

Elaine inspired me to get involved with CAPE many years ago, when she gave a lesson to the students in my classroom. She also helped educate me about the crisis we face in our community. I will miss her positivity, her passion and her friendship.
