Elliott, the son of Frank Shapiro and Doris Schwartz, grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Marcia, the daughter of Paul Greenberg and Sarah Fishler, grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The couple met while on vacation at Green Mansions in Warrensburg, NY. They were married on April 7, 1957 and were together for 60 years.

The couple is survived by their children Martin, Fran, and Joel. Elliott did not have siblings. His closest living relative is his cousin Irene Aronson. Marcia's brother Sherman Greenberg and sister-in-law Coral preceded her in death. Her closest living relative is her cousin Judy Kennedy (Greenberg). The couple has other surviving cousins, nephews, and great nephews and nieces mostly through the Greenberg side of the family

A celebration of their lives was held at the Pacifica Senior Living community in Las Vegas where the couple resided for their final 8 years together. They also leave behind the many loving staff members who cared for them over those years.
