Elba Gonzalez 59, of Glassboro New Jersey passed away suddenly on April 26, 2025.
She was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The eldest of 5 daughters born to Luis and Elba Rosario. She was a devoted mother to Marilyn and Manuel Gonzalez. Loving Nana to Justin, Anneliese, Makayla, Adalia and Malia Rose. A dear sister to Mary, Lucia, Marisol (Solito) & Marisol (Chipa). Known to many as “Titi Elba” and “Yaya”. Elba was loved by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
One thing about Elba, that everyone can attest to, is that she loved her grandbabies more than anything. She was often found in the kitchen making a home cooked meal with music playing in the background. Most would say, she was the “best chef” and always made you feel welcomed. She was known as the fun titi and always was the life of the party. She would drop everything she was doing just to lend a helping hand.
Elba was a cherished member of Aramark for over 42 years. She made an extraordinary impact — not just through her professional contributions, but through the warmth, generosity, and integrity that defined her presence among us. She exemplified the values we aspire to uphold and touched countless lives.
Elba was also an incredible pillar of her community. She devoted countless hours to improving the lives of people in her neighborhood and beyond. Often, she would be volunteering her time to help an organization or putting packages together to send out of the country.
Elba loved to travel and consider the beach her second home.
Elba was a beautiful person; her smile and laughter will forever be remembered by those who knew her.
