Elisha Galli Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 13, 2025.
It is with heavy heart and profound sadness to announce the passing of Elisha Galli, 43, (née Henkel) of Maywood, New Jersey on March 12. Elisha was the cute, little red-haired girl who brought a spirit of friendship and fun to everyone she knew. Born in 1982 at Englewood Hospital, Elisha created life-long bonds in the communities of Paramus and Saddle Brook, where she grew up and on the campus of William Paterson University, where she graduated with a degree in psychology. Elisha used her empathy and compassionate care as a child development specialist to help children with autism spectrum disorder by providing early intervention. She was raising two young children of her own when she passed. Elisha's bright light and love is now carried by her daughters Ravenne and Evelyn, her husband Robert, stepson Robert Jr as well as her parents Denise and Joseph Long. She is also survived by grandparents Kathleen and Robert Henkel, her stepbrother Collin Cunninghame, and her beloved cats Lola and Ziggy. She was pre-deceased by her father John Liversidge of Fairview, NJ. Elisha's life will be celebrated with a funeral mass at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Rochelle Park, NJ on Saturday, March 22 at 10:00am. In lieu of food or flowers, Elisha's family suggests donations be made to the following organizations:

AutismSpeaks.org

Denise & Joe, Kathy.
Remembering Elisha´s spirit of goodness and kindness. Like her grandmother, she has a big heart and when she saw a need she responded. She welcomed me into her home to join the family Thanksgiving dinner. Remembering her generosity. Helping others was at her core and in her DNA. Such a good person, gone too soon. Such a profound loss. Sending love to you and the family.
