SLINGERLANDS - Elda Nancy Macri passed away peacefully at the age of 79 on Sunday, December 18, 2022.
Elda lost her brave and long battle with cancer, but not without leaving her legacy with the loving people around her.
She was born on February 4, 1943 to the late Francesca and Arcangelo Losavio. Elda, along with eight siblings, immigrated from Palagianello, Italy to Albany, New York in September of 1954. She would go on to attend and graduate from Ravena–Coeymans-Selkirk Central Schools where she excelled in everything she engaged in. Elda held multiple positions across specialty food service organizations for many years. However, her successful career was nothing in comparison to her success at developing friendships, both professionally and personally. She held a deep love and devotion to her family and friends; her presence was larger than life.
Elda is predeceased by her devoted husband of 51 years, Joseph Anthony Macri; her brother and sister, Anthony C. Losavio Sr., and Teresa Losavio Catucci; her 3 nephews, Tony Losavio, Michael Losee and Nicole Catucci
Elda is survived by their loving sons, Francis Joseph (Tracey) and Joseph Anthony II (Marlene); her grandchildren; Rosemary, Anthony, Kiyomi, Christina and Jordan. She is survived by siblings Delores Losee (Ken), Catherine Losee (Don), Antoinette Losee (Richard), Rocco Losavio (Nancy), Mary Hathaway (Robert), Grace Monforte (Vince), Josephine Hargis (William) and Guy Losavio; her sister in law, Barbara Losavio.
