Elaine Vigna Obituary

Elaine Rowley Vigna passed away peacefully in her home on the afternoon of November 29, 2015. Born in Belleville IL, she resided in Colorado Springs in the same home for 45 years. She was an avid reader, loved learning and always ready with a laugh. Elaine was a Registered Nurse keeping her license into her 70's. She was a wonderful mother, and a beautiful person inside and out.

Elaine is survived by her four children, Thomas A. Dalsaso Jr. M.D. of Colorado Springs CO, Kathleen Dalsaso Mitchler of Golden CO, Megan Dalsaso of Seattle WA, and Timothy Dalsaso M.D. of Eureka CA, and 7 grandchildren, her husband William Vigna and his two children and four grandchildren.

There will be no formal services. We plan to get together at a later date with family and good friends to share stories, fun and laughter. There will be a grave site memorial in Bellville IL in the Spring.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My dear Aunt Elaine inspired me in many ways, mostly as a young child before she had her own beloved four children. Especially, as a professional RN for 32 years, when it came to respect for our elders! I remember when she married my Godfather, my Dad's brother Tom. I attended the wedding. Oh, what an intelligent beauty! Back then, their first dog was 'Charlie'. Elaines' love for dogs became an important link to understanding the wisdom animals can provide us with, particularly when words can not be found.Elaine you will live in my heart forever.~Julie Dalsaso, Coeur d'Alene, ID

Dear Friend,
We have missed you for the past two years but we always thought of you during our monthly get togethers. Now, we will miss you even more for there is no hope of your return. The three of us pray that you are happy in His care and want you to know that we will always remember the good times we shared. Farewell, dear friend. Ann
