Elaine M. Mangino Porterfield, 81, of New Wilmington, PA passed away the morning of March 29, 2026 at Grove Manor Nursing Center in Grove City.

Born in New Castle on June 26, 1944, Elaine was the daughter of the late Frank "Snooky" Mangino and Eleanor Dettore Mangino.

In the early years Elaine had worked as a clerk at Mays Donuts and then Bill's Bake Shoppe.

Elaine was a member of Holy Spirit Parish, St. Vitus Church. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steeler fan. A loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Elaine's greatest joy was the time she spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to her Parents and Husband, Elaine was preceded in death by her sister, Kathleen Mangino.

Honoring her wishes, a Private Blessing Service will be held at Parkside Mausoleum with Father Joseph Freedy officiating. Entombment will be at Parkside Mausoleum. Arrangements are entrusted to the Ed & Don DeCarbo Funeral Home & Crematory, 941 S. Mill St.
