Obituary of Elvira Iacobelli

Elvira (Elva) Iacobelli, 91, passed away peacefully and quietly at home surrounded by family on Saturday July 14, 2018 at 8:00 PM.  Elva was born to Jack (1963) and Meda(1991) Lombardi in Paterson on December 1, 1926. 

Elvira was a homemaker for most of her life.  She was dedicated to her family and best known for her ever present smile, a kiss and "I love you."  Her passion was cooking, baking pies and hosting picnics and holiday parties at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.  For many years she would bake as many as 14 different kinds of cookies at Christmas and shared them all with family, neighbors and friends.  Elva was an active member of the North haledon Republican Club, in support of her husband and son in their political careers, a past President of the North Haledon PTA and a Cub Scout Den Mother.

She is survived by her husband Oscar, the love of her life, having just celebrated 71 years of marriage this past June. They could still be seen in recent years walking together holding hands.  She is also survived by a son, Bruce O. Iacobelli and his wife Patricia (North Haledon), a niece, nephew and many cousins and lifelong friends.  Elva was very compassionate and a friend to everyone she met. 

Our family would particularly like to thank Elva's caregivers, Monica, Marshall, Mercy, Eric and Pam for making her final years and weeks comfortable and enjoyable as possible.  

A funeral service will be held on Friday, July 20 at DeLuccia-Lozito Funeral Home, 265 Belmont Avenue, Haledon, NJ at 10:30 AM.  Interment will be in Laurel Grove Memorial Park, Totowa, NJ.  Visiting hours will be on Thursday from 4 PM to 8:30 PM and on Friday from 10 AM to 10:30 AM.

As much as Elva enjoyed flowers, if you prefer you can make a donation in her name to the St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital Foundation, Susan Spatt, Director, 224 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ 07470, or a favorite charity of your choice.
