Elena’s Obituary Elena Marie Galluzzi, age 75 of Deerfield Beach, FL, died Nov. 16, 2022 peacefully at home with her daughter by her side. She was predeceased by her parents, Elena Marie Percopo and Michael “Mickey” Joseph Percopo, and her husband, Samuel Louis Galluzzi. Elena was born Dec 14, 1946 in New York, NY., and grew up in Hempstead, Long Island, NY. She attended Uniondale High School and later obtained an online Associates Degree that garnished her professional growth in the airline industry. Her career in the airline industry was sparked by her love for travel, culture, and adventure. During her 40+ year career, Elena worked for Air Canada, and most recently Delta Air Lines where she received the highest employee honor of The Chairman’s Club Award. She took pride in her work and was appreciated by many of her colleagues at Delta Air Lines; they called her the “Sky Goddess.” She was a devout catholic and parishioner at All Saints Catholic Church in Sunrise for many years where she participated in a multitude of community events. Elena was very fond of her Italian heritage and spent much time dreaming about the connection between her and her ancestors in Lucca, Italy. A few years before her passing this became increasingly important and she made a trip there to learn more about her family heritage. In 1992, Elena adopted her daughter Jenne-Elise Galluzzi and spent the last 30 years of her life taking the utmost pride and joy in being her mother. She is survived by her only daughter, Jenne-Elise Galluzzi of Deerfield Beach, FL. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on December 1st at 11:00 am at All Saints Catholic Church in Sunrise, FL. Interment will immediately follow in Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in North Lauderdale, FL. There will be a small celebration of life in her neighborhood hall from 2:00-6:00pm, RSVP required. Type this link into your browser for more info and to register bit.ly/celebrateelena.
