Lois "Elaine" Figliolo

Elaine Figliolo, age 82, from Kelso, MO, departed this world on Wednesday, August 23, 2023 at Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. She was born in Cape Girardeau on August 24, 1940, to the late Charles Moyers and Dorothy (Atchley) Moyers.

Elaine was a 1958 graduate of Notre Dame High School and was a member of the St. Augustine Catholic Church in Kelso.

Being the oldest of seven children prepared her (only slightly) for her next adventure in life. In 1960 she had her first of five children. Five kids are a lot for anyone, but she had five Figliolo children. If you know any of the “Fig’s”, you know what a tremendous woman she was to be able to raise that crew. While raising her kids and keeping them on the straight and narrow (laughing), she also owned and operated Elaine’s Restaurant in Cape Girardeau.

Elaine was a bartender for several years at Lefty’s in Kelso. She was an avid reader and a loyal Cardinals fan. More than anything, she loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. If you were privileged enough to have been loved by Elaine, you knew the feeling of fierce, unconditional love. She will be missed immensely by so many.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her life-long companion, Kenny Dohogne; one son, Joe Figliolo; two brothers, Scotty Moyers and Buford Moyers; one sister, Sharon Davis; and one grandson, Tyler Figliolo.

Survivors include two daughters, Cindy (Kim) Voelker of Morgan City, Louisiana and Michele (Kendra) Figliolo of Cape Girardeau; two sons, Brad (Carolyn) Figliolo and Mike (Angie) Figliolo all of Cape Girardeau; two step-daughters, Alana (Mike) Hodo and Shawna (Todd) LeGrand all of Kelso; three brothers, Ronnie (Pam) Moyers, David (Joleda) Moyers, and Jimmy (Rosezetta) Moyers; by son-in-law, Rick Voelker;  sister-in-law, Vicky Moyers; fourteen grandchildren, twenty-one great-grandchildren; and the love of her life, fur-baby Chloe.

Memorial visitation will be held on Monday, August 28, 2023 from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. at the Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Scott City.

Celebration of Life mass will be held on WEDNESDAY, August 30, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. in the St. Augustine Catholic Church with Father Tom Wilk officiating.
