Elaine Daly, 86, went to be with her Lord on Monday, October 5, 2020. Born in Manhattan, New York to Andrew and Sophia (Pashkewich) Charley on April 11, 1934, Elaine was a true renaissance lady. She had a hand and interest in everything from gardening and astrology to natural healing and herbal medicines. She enjoyed pinochle, traveling and learning of historical places, and she loved to nurture others with her cooking. She was a former employee of AT&T, Sperry Gyroscope and Suffolk County Surrogate’s Court.
