Elva, lovingly known as "Elvie" to Dad she was "Barbie Doll", went home to Jesus on January 24, 2025, surrounded by her beloved family and her faithful dog, Pooch. Born in Toppenish, WA, to John and Estella Brady, Elva was the eighth of nine siblings and the last surviving sibling. Her family later moved to Santa Paula, CA, where she grew up. It was at the Assembly of God church that she met the love of her life, Frank Sigala. They married on May 8, 1960, and built a beautiful life together for 64 years. Their love story blessed them with three children: Frank Jr., Brenda, and Chris ("Big Chris"), six grandchildren Frank III, Christopher, Christina, Sarah, Stevi, and Darlene and fifteen great-grandchildren.
Elva is now joyfully reunited in Heaven with her son Big Chris and the entire Brady bunch.
