Elisa Carolla's Obituary
September 15, 1949 - January 9, 2026
Elisa, born on September 15, 1949, peacefully entered eternal rest on January 9, 2026; at the age of 76. She went to be with the Lord, reunited in Heaven with her beloved parents & siblings and husband, whom she missed dearly. She leaves behind her two children Priscilla and Ricky Carolla, who were the joy of her life; three cherished grandchildren Scarlett, Jacky, and Cole, and one precious great grandson Michael who brought her endless smiles. She also leaves behind her two remaining siblings Gracie Garcia and Simon Suarez and numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved deeply.
Her faith was the foundation of her life. She spent countless hours listening to pastors preach on television, filling her home with worship, scripture, and the comforting presence of God’s word. She loved to visit with family, share stories, laugh, and joke around - her humor and warmth could brighten any room. Her family will forever remember her as someone who loved wholeheartedly and made everyone feel welcome.
In the last years of her life, she faced many challenges including time spent in the nursing home and a diagnosis of dementia and cancer. Even through these hardships, her body grew weary but her spirit remained gentle and strong.
She passed away peacefully in the nursing home and is now free from pain, resting in the arms of her Savior.
Elisa will be deeply missed by all who loved her yet her family rejoices in knowing that she is now whole, at peace, and living eternally in the presence of God and her loved ones.
A service celebrating her life will be held on February 4, 2026 at Camero Funeral Home on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
