She married James Mandicino Sr. on Sept. 6, 1941 in South Sioux City. Elma was a devoted mother, and loving homemaker. Her family was most important to her, and she and Jim enjoyed having the grandkids stay at their home on Brown's Lake, playing cards, boating, baking, and cooking Sunday and holiday dinners for all who could come.

Elma was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Salix, Iowa for more than 50 years, and volunteered for multiple church functions. She was active in the local PTA.
