Elisa was born on February 13, 1928 to John Moscoso and Elisa Arevalo Moscoso in Manhattan, NY. Elisa was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Pete Notarstefano, her siblings, John, Josephine, Matilda, Maria, Albert and Edward; as well as nephews and nieces, Albert, Carol, John and Lucille. Elisa is survived by her children, Anne, and Peter and his wife Donna, her grandchildren, Bryce and Chantal as well as many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
Family was Elisa's number one priority. She always remembered birthdays, and anniversaries. She was always there to help when a family member or friend needed a caring hand. In her older years, she loved reading, doing crossword puzzles and words search in the newspaper. Her faith and love of family helped her through the challenges she faced with cancer.
Elisa would want any donations in her name to be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
