A 76-year-old woman was killed in a Queens cemetery yesterday when her own idling car rolled into her as she visited her husband's grave, cops said.
Evanglista Vartholomeou of 150th St. in Briarwood was spotted by an off-duty transit cop pinned under her 1991 Lincoln Continental at 4:50 p.m. in the Maple Grove Cemetery on Kew Gardens Road.

"She may have left the car running and not realized it," said an official at the scene.

Cops said the car rolled over and pinned the elderly woman, who was pronounced dead at the cemetery.

A man who lives at the edge of the cemetery said he saw Vartholomeou being pulled out from under her car by emergency workers.

The vehicle was about 25 feet from her husband's grave on Memorial Hill.

Flowers and a note card were left at the grave, said the man, who declined to give his name.

Cops said her death appeared to be an accident.
