Born in Valle Hermoso, Mexico, on July 29, 1942, she was the daughter of Paulino Landa and Aurelia Landa. Elia was known for her friendly nature and being a chatterbox with the loudest laugh that warmed the hearts of everyone around her. Her love for cleanliness was evident as everything had to be spick and span in her world. Her passion for travel took her far and wide. Among Elia's passions were tending to her beautiful flower garden and caring for animals. Elia's faith was an integral part of her life, and she took great pleasure in leading others towards the love of God through her actions and words. May she rest in peace knowing that she made a significant impact on all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
