Obituary

Elfriede Johanna Kasun, known to all as Elfie, passed away peacefully on August 16, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Born in Hamburg, Germany, Elfie immigrated to the United States at the age of 18 with her sister, Erika, through Ellis Island. She settled in New York City, where she met a young Naval officer, James (Jim) Kasun. Jim became her best friend, her partner through life’s highs and lows, and the love of her life.
