Ft. Edward--- Elaine R. Leombruno, 87, of Putnam Ave., Ft. Edward, passed away Sunday, May 25, 2014 with her family at her bedside.
Born July 10, 1926, in Hudson Falls, Elaine was the daughter of Alfred and Regina (Brunette) DelSignore.
For many years she worked on the tin tie machine at Chase Bag Co. in Fennimore, previously the Arkell & Smith Co. Later, Elaine went on to work at Sherwood, a medical device company in Argyle, until she retired at the age of 69.
Her interests included reading, cooking, decorating her home and, of course, spending time with her family. Elaine was very much a home body and loved her family. She was domestic and could make a budget stretch; no one went without. In her earlier years she enjoyed her small flower gardens, working in her yard, knitting, small crafts, and watching Lawrence Welk.
Elaine lived with and cared for her mother until she had passed away at the age of 82. Before that, she cared for her grandmother, Eglantine Duclos, until she passed away of consumption. She was also predeceased by Tony Leombruno, her former husband of 22 years, her grandson, Shane Vickers, who passed away at the age of 31 in 2008, great-grandson, Joshua Missingill, who passed away at 21 months old in 1997, and a sister, Gloria McMurray.
Elaine is survived by four children, Larry Leombruno of Ft. Edward, Cynthia Varney, and her husband, Floyd, of Ft Ann, Mike Leombruno of Ft. Edward, and Shawn Gale of Goshen, N.Y.; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; six siblings, Roger DelSignore and his five children; Patty Poladore and her three children; Joan Derway and her husband, Harold, and their three children, Carol Mercier and her husband, Dick, and their four children; David DelSignore and his wife, Elaine, and their five children; and Delores Chattenden and her five children.

A memorial service will follow at 11:30 a.m. at the funeral home, with the Rev. Michael Bailey officiating.
