Elsie Carlson Greco of Coram, New York, passed away peacefully surrounded by her beloved family in her 98th year on September 17, 2020. Beloved wife of the late Frank Greco and sister of the late May Roxbury. Loving mother of Christine (Nicholas) DeRicco and Lorraine (Peter) Bosshard, cherished grandmother of Lauren (late Brendan) Cody, Lisa (Sam) DeRicco-Gibson, Nicole (Sandra) Rivera, Chrissy (Rick) Atkinson, and Robert Bosshard, and great grandmother of Kaitlyn and Linsey Cody. Also survived by cousin Anders Karlsson and his children in Sweden. Elsie was born November 16, 1922 in Göteborg, Sweden. She immigrated through Ellis Island, NY as an infant with her parents and sister. She was proud of her heritage, but also proud to be an American. Elsie achieved a long, successful career in banking. She had a passion for baking and cooking, and was extraordinary in numerous hand crafts. We are all so blessed to have her in our lives. In the words of our mother, “Always be kind and grateful.” Cremation and interment will be held privately; a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Family has requested in lieu of flowers a donation to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
