Throughout her life, Elvira remained a devoted and beloved member of the Church of Christ both in Burlington NJ and here in McArthur OH. Elvira loved the members of her church and her smiling face will be forever missed. Her love for the congregation was only matched by the love and support they gave back in kind.
