Plainview resident celebrates 90 with members of local government

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Andrew Monteleone joined New York State Sen. Steve Rhoads in celebrating the 90th birthday of Plainview resident Marsha Elowsky. Elowsky was born Nov. 2, 1936, in Brooklyn, where she grew up and became an educator with the New York City Department of Education. She married her late husband, Joseph Elowsky, in 1956. The couple settled in Plainview in 1963 and raised four daughters. Elowsky has remained active in the Plainview community through charitable efforts focused on improving the lives of children and senior citizens. She operated a preschool out of her home for 25 years and founded Camp Apollo, a nonprofit summer camp, in 1970. She continues her work with seniors through Super Seniors, a biweekly therapy group. Elowsky is now a grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of three.
