Please join us in mourning the loss of Elisa DellaSantina, 48, the most caring and loving woman to grace us with her presence.
Mrs. DellaSantina was born in Chicago and dedicated her life to the service of the Catholic Church and the caring of her family. Her love for each was reflected in her service to Holy Cross Parish in Pigeon Forge and the family business, Ristorante DellaSantina.
Her heart was so full of love and joy as she cared for her three children, her parents, her husband, and her dogs.
She served the Lord and prayed always with a faith unwavering. Her love for life was evident to all who had the absolute blessing of meeting her.
Mrs. DellaSantina is loved by all who ever met her. Compassion, faith, tenderness, and love poured forth from her.
She is survived by her three children, Claudia, Gianfranco, and Gianlucca; her husband, Gianfranco; and mother, Celina.
A funeral Mass for Mrs. DellaSantina was celebrated on July 9 at Holy Cross Church. A burial service followed at Smoky Mountain Memory Gardens in Pigeon Forge.
Gifts in Mrs. DellaSantina’s memory can be made to “Love Like Elisa” at Holy Cross Church, 144 Wears Valley Road, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863.
