We encourage you to share your personal condolences and stories of Elvira Rachlis below and we will share them with the family.
*Email and phone numbers will NOT be displayed online


I first met Mrs. Rachlis in approximately 1989 after Michael and I became friends in law school. I was immediately and always thereafter struck by her wonderful humor, kindness and generosity. All of those qualities, along with intelligence and devotion to family, are strongly reflected in her children, grandchildren and extended family, an amazing legacy. She always made me feel welcome and it was a privilege to have known her. I know she will be greatly missed. The Pitzers will have all of the Rachlis family in our thoughts and prayers during this time of grieving. Your good friend, Jeff Pitzer
