Elsa Denia Obituary
Salinas - On September 22, 2020, Elsa Denia peacefully passed away in her sleep after a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family in her home. She was 72.
Elsa was born in the Philippines and started her life in the US at Portland, OR in the early 1980's. She then came to Salinas, CA soon after and has resided in King City, Soledad and back to Salinas. She had long careers at LD Enterprises, Farm Labor Management, IDT and Gateway Center.
