Elisa began her working years as a seamstress at the Hicks Ponder Factory and later dedicated 22 years as a food service manager for SFDR-CISD. In 1950, she married Pablo M. Ledesma Sr., and together they built a life centered on family, sharing 59 years of marriage.

She was a woman of strong faith and service. At Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, she taught catechism, was an active member of the Guadalupanas, sang in the church choir, and served as president of the Sacred Heart Society. She also gave her time as a member of the Diabetes Task Force.

In 2015, she moved to San Antonio, TX, to be with her daughter and son-in-law. There, she became a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church and enjoyed spending time in the arts and crafts group.

She found happiness in the simple things like gardening, creating cascarones, and spending time with those she loved. She will be remembered for her faith, her kindness, and the love she shared with her family.

The Family would like to thank Elara Caring Hospice of San Antonio, Tx for their wonderful care and compassion.
