Elaine M. Morales

In Loving Memory of Elaine Morales (née Papadakis)

Our hearts are heavy as we share the passing of Elaine Morales, who left us too soon on November 4, 2025, in Troy, New York. Born on October 30, 1979, in Nyack, NY, Elaine grew up with a bright spirit, a sharp wit, and a heart that cared deeply for everyone around her. She had a knack for brightening anyone's day.

Elaine made her home in Troy, where she raised her three children - Alexis, Elysia, and Andre - who were the center of her world. She also leaves behind her loving mother, Paula Schmidt, and her brother, Andrew, who will miss her dearly. Elaine is reunited in peace with her father, George Papadakis, and her sister, Ginger Ferrezzano.

Elaine lived her life with kindness and strength, and care for the people she loved. She worked in the service industry, where her warmth and humor touched so many. She had a natural way with words and could make anyone laugh, even in difficult times. Above all, Elaine was someone who always tried to do the right thing and cared deeply about others - her compassion and warmth touched countless lives.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her most, in the laughter she inspired, and in the goodness she brought into the world.

Rest easy, Elaine.
