Beloved wife of Santos De Jesus Sr. for 54 years and devoted mother of Pedro Julio Torres (Maribel), Eric Torres, Edwin De Jesus (Ramonita) and Santos "Tito" De Jesus Jr. (Maria "Bita" Isabel) and stepmother of Elizabeth "Cuti" Emerick (Walter) and Edwin "Pito" De Jesus (April). Loving grandmother and proud great-grandmother.

Elsa was a devoted Christian for over 50 years, and a pastor for some years as she lived her life for God. She had a "mini Christian library" in her home because she enjoyed studying the Word of God. Elsa had a beautiful singing voice which she blessed many with she was also somewhat of a comedian touching many lives with her with uplifting stories, jokes, Puerto Rican cuisine, and love. She was small in stature but big at heart - always willing to help anyone in need regardless of the situation.

Elsa was a woman of God that loved her family unconditionally and will be missed dearly.
