She was very loving and kind, always reaching out to help those in need. Elida worked for several years at the former Holy Cross Hospital as an x-ray technician and then went to work at St. David’s for nearly 20 years working in both the x-ray and neonatal departments. She was a longtime member of Betania Baptist Church where she taught Elementary Sunday School for many years.
