On Saturday, July 23, 2022, Elsa Dania Swafford Najera, a loving mother, daughter, grandmother, and wife passed at age 59. 

Elsa was born in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua then moved to El Paso, TX where raised three daughters, pursued cosmetology and continued to work hard for her daughters and became a U.S. citizen. Moved to Pennsylvania to live a fulfilling life next to her loving husband John. 

Elsa was a truly remarkable woman of all trades, filled with beauty and elegance. A warrior, full of life and love. She loved traveling, being outdoors, spreading joy and compassion everywhere she went, creating amazing art, and spreading her wisdom. She loved music of all kinds, loved living life to the fullest dancing and singing with all her family and loved ones. More than anything, she loved watching her grandchildren grow. She’s known for her drive, her courage, incredible strength, humble and giving heart, and the most kind infectious spirit. 

She is survived by her husband John, her three daughters, Elizabeth, Stephanie and Michelle, her brothers Arnoldo and Omar, her mother Gloria, and four grandkids.

Arrangements entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation and Funeral Care, Robinson Township, PA.
