Publish in a newspaper
Elise was born on February 14, 1951, in Cairo, Egypt, the cherished daughter of Esther and Ness Pessah. She emigrated with her parents to the United States in 1960, following a short stay in Paris, France. The family settled in Syracuse, New York, where Elise attended Nottingham High School and later Onondaga Community College.
After moving to Mission, Kansas, Elise married the late Maurice Eastman. Together, raised three sons, Abe, Jacob, and Isaac.
Elise had a deep love of music and pursued her dream of working in radio broadcasting, spending time on air at local radio stations. She also enjoyed her years working in retail, where she was quick to share her warm smile. Faith was an essential part of Elise's life. She found joy and friendship in Bible studies with neighbors and friends.
Elise is survived by her three children and her brother, Isaac Pessah. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love.
Graveside services will be held at 11am, Friday, October 31, 2025 at Kehilath Israel Blue Ridge Cemetery, 1901 Blue Ridge Blvd, Independence, MO 64052

Elise will be missed greatly by me. We spent a lot of time together walking the neighborhood, talking, praying and enjoying our many blessings. She was a wonderful advocate for Abraham and Isaac and planned many fun social activities for these young men. We shared many meals together, lunch, dinner at my home or hers. Celebrated our birthdays together. Elise you will be greatly missed! We knew each other for over 40 years! God has been faithful to Elise and now she is home and at Peace with Him! Love you my sweet friend.

Elise stepped into Or Ha Olam one day and we had been friends since. I clicked with her son Isaac as he calls me goofy. Elise and I had long deep talks about living life one day at a time and relying on Yeshua. Our favorite times were going to the Lazy River at a community health club, going on car rides to do errands or see holiday lights. She was one of my favorite friends when I lived in Kansas. We also liked going to the store, Enjoy,. She liked Paul Wilbur and Joshua Aarons music a lot.
