in honor of Elvira.

I moved to Oakbrook three years ago and my first introduction to Albertsons was Sunshine. I was in awe of this perpetually happy, enthusiastic, energetic, outgoing, sweet person and looked forward to standing on her line when possible. I worked in customer service for many years and to me, Sunshine represented the best of customer service. What an ambassador to not only Albertsons, but also to people. I am devastated about learning of her passing. I just found out today and my heart is sobbing. Bless her family, both at home and at work. Sylvia Ford

I broke the news to my 10-year-old daughter today on our way to Albertson’s. Sunshine and Hannah had a very unique interaction, she always stopped to say hello and ruffle Hannah’s hair, she was always positive and smiling, she always asked about Hannah’s dancing and in turn, Hannah always wanted to fill out a survey for her best buddy, Sunshine. Needless to say, there were many tears shed this evening including a couple of the other staff who saw Hannah placing flowers near sunshine’s picture in the corner sitting area. We will definitely miss seeing her each time we shopped. She left a lasting impression on my little girl, about how to embrace happiness each day and to share it. I can’t thank her enough for that. Sending peace and love to all her family and friends.

Elvira "Sunshine" Root, or as we fondly called her Sunshine, she was so kind and loving and supportive with smiles, hugs and laughter to help get us through our loss of my mother. Sunshine's laughter and mischievous behavior reminded me so much of my mother's sense of humor. We were so sadden to hear you have left us, but know that you are now a guardian angel. Sunshine, thank you for your time and love, it was greatly appreciated, you were our Sunshine and you will be missed greatly. Rest in peace my friend.
