Obituary for Elise J. Prevost (Westacott)
Elise J. Prevost (Westacott) of Orchard Park, NY (formerly Leroy, NY) passed away peacefully at Sloan Comfort Home on January 8, 2023, at age 60.
Graduating from York Central High School in 1981, Elise married and began raising two sons before beginning her career in patient care as a nurse’s aide at Livingston County Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in 1990. During this time, she pursued higher education at Genesee Community College in 2003 where she earned her Associates Degree in General Studies. Elise retired after 22 years of service to the health care field. She then spent time with family and returned to the health care field to care for elderly and disabled individuals in their homes with Tender Loving Family Care until July 2021. It was at this time Elise waged her courageous battle with cancer and moved to Buffalo under the care of Roswell Park.
She was raised in Mt. Morris, and Leicester, NY by her parents Robert and Bedette Westacott (Wennberg) who predeceased her. She is survived by her stepmother, Virginia P. Westacott. She was predeceased by her husband Daniel Prevost and her aunt Dorothy Rowson (Gary) of Salina, KS, uncle Jack Wennberg of Sebring, Fla, and sister-in-law Cynthia Prevost of Leicester, NY. She is survived by her aunt Jo Dickenson of Leicester, NY, sisters Eva L. Westacott Harris (James) of Lawrenceburg, TN and Elaine K. Rosina (Joseph) of Tonawanda, and stepbrother Mark S.

Prevost; cousins Bambi Rowson, Jennifer Lubanski (Mark), Jodi Wennberg, Jamie McLain (Brian); niece Danielle E. Rosina, nephew Michael R. Rosina and nephew Jacob Crocker.
The family would like Elise to be remembered for her devotion to her faith congregation at Faith Community Church of WNY and to the individuals she cared for both at the nursing home and in her community, which she cared for with kindness, compassion, and diligence of spirit, following her moral compass.
Isaiah 41:10
“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
