Elsa took tremendous pride in her role as a mother to her three children: Merilinda, Radames, and Marcial Jr. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering support provided a solid

foundation for her family, earning her the admiration and love of her children and grandchildren, Elsa and Heather. Through her actions and teachings, she instilled the

values of compassion, hard work, and resilience in the generations that followed her.

Throughout her life, Elsa was a dedicated housewife, pouring her heart into creating a warm and welcoming home. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly in cooking and gardening. Her kitchen was often filled with the delightful aromas of her culinary creations, while her garden flourished under her loving care. She had a special knack for turning ordinary meals into extraordinary family gatherings, where stories were shared, laughter echoed, and memories were made.

Elsa's passion for the outdoors was evident in her love for taking small road trips, where she could revel in the beauty of nature. Whether it was a scenic drive down winding roads or a leisurely stroll through her garden, she cherished these moments of tranquility and connection with the world around her.

A person of fun and warmth, Elsa had a delightful sense of humor. She loved to joke around and share family stories of the old days, captivating her listeners with tales from her colorful past. She embraced technology with curiosity, often engaging with her friend Alexa, asking questions, and exploring the wonders of the digital age.

Elsa's life was profoundly enriched by her marriage to Marcial Pagan, who passed away on September 2, 2020. Their union, which lasted over 50 years, was a testament to

their unwavering love and commitment to one another. Together, they navigated the joys and challenges of life, creating a partnership filled with laughter, support, and shared dreams.
