Elaine M. Viggiano, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and cherished friend, peacefully departed this world July 21, 2025, at Good Samaritan Medical Center, leaving behind a legacy of love and warmth that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who knew her. Born on December 21, 1945, in Manhattan , NY, Elaine's journey took her through a life filled with joy, compassion, and unforgettable experiences.

Elaine spent over sixty devoted years with her loving husband, Lawrence. Together, they built a life rich with memories, laughter, and unwavering support. Their partnership was a shining example of true love, embodying the strength and dedication that inspired many around them.

Her nurturing spirit and boundless affection created an environment where her grandchildren thrived, forever cherishing the countless moments spent together—moments filled with laughter, storytelling, and lessons that would guide them throughout their lives.

Professionally, Elaine made her mark as an Assistant Branch Manager with H.S.B.C. in Commack, NY, where she was respected by her colleagues and loved by her customers.

Elaine was known as the greatest woman in the world—she enjoyed every moment of life and would do anything for anyone in need. Her heart was vast, her spirit contagious, and her laughter could lighten even the heaviest of hearts.

Additionally, her love for the excitement of the casino brought thrill and sweetness to her life, showcasing her fun-loving personality and her ability to seize every opportunity for joy.

Elaine joins her beloved parents, Frank and Josephine Pitagna, in eternal rest, leaving a void that will be deeply felt by her living family and friends. She is survived by her devoted husband, Lawrence; her loving daughter, Doreen (Rich) Blumengold, and cherished grandchildren Alexis, and Richie Blumengold; and a multitude of friends who were touched by her generosity and spirit.
