Elaine Merrill, 91 passed peacefully, June 5, 2024, at her home with her son, Zack and family members by her side. She is now in the embrace of her wonderful parents Andrew and Mary Daniloff, and her beautiful sister, Elizabeth Bealo. Elaine had been battling severe dementia for the past 4 ½ years and was a true warrior with “A will of Iron”.

She is survived by her son, Zachary, brother, Mike Daniloff, granddaughter, Valentina (J. Rogers), great grandchildren, IZZ & Butchie Silvestri and niece and nephew Pam Bealo (J. Gizo) and Peter (Rachael) Bealo.

Elaine was a “model” employee of U.H.S. for over 35+ years of service. She loved to work outside in her yard and walk around MacArthur Park Track. Her love for her family was unconditional and shined as powerful as the sun. Elaine was dedicated to her family 24/7, always there to pick them up when they fell during tough times and stand behind them as they made their way through life. Elaine had a heart the size of Texas and would give all she had to ensure her family’s wellness & happiness. Her family’s world will be a little sadder, a little darker without her love & beauty in it.

Elaine was blessed with some real guardian angels here on earth. The family will be eternally grateful and would like to thank Dawn & Tabby Slopka and Mrs. Rae Whitmore for all their love & help during Elaine’s dark times.

Contributions may be made in Elaine’s memory to either St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or to the Alzheimer’s Association.
