Elvira M. Martin

Elvira Martin (nee Adamo), 101 years old, passed away peacefully at home in her sleep Wednesday, November 6th. She joins her beloved husband, Anthony in eternal rest. They had been married for 69 years, and she was widowed for 6 years.

Elvira was treasured by the family she leaves behind -- 3 children, their spouses, 5 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. A lifelong New Jersey resident, she was one of 8 siblings, first generation Italian-American. To all who loved her, she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. Her beautiful smile, dedication to family, love of gatherings with good company and great food (much of which she prepared herself) will be forever missed! Dio la benedica!
