In Memory of Mrs. Elsa Soler.

With deep respect and admiration, we remember Mrs. Elsa Soler, an extraordinary woman whose life was dedicated to serving her community and the well-being of others. As the founder of Elsa Pharmacy in Hialeah, FL, Mrs. Soler began her journey in 1979, and for over four decades, her passion for health and personal care never wavered. Her pharmacy was not only a place for filling prescriptions but also a welcoming environment where patients could always expect a familial, friendly, and trustworthy service.

Mrs. Soler’s commitment to her customers went beyond the professional. For her, it was not just a business, but a mission to ensure that everyone who walked through her door was treated like a member of her own family. Her legacy is one of kindness, dedication, and a love for helping others.

At the age of 92, Mrs. Soler passed away on February 8, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of care and compassion that will continue to inspire all who knew her.
