Elaine was born in Watertown, SD in April 1927, the first child of Richard and Hulda Stoltenburg. She grew up in a hardworking, farming community where she met and married Charles Edgar (Ed) Weagel. In 1964 she, Ed and their five children picked up and moved to Colorado Springs where they opened and successfully operated C & E Suzuki Sales for 31 years. One would find her at the shop in her small office diligently handling the financial side of the business.
Elaine was a dedicated wife and mother. Nothing brought her more joy than to be surrounded by her family. She expressed her creativity through her sewing, crafts, scrapbooking and home making. Being a member of her church brought great meaning to her life as she volunteered her time and participated in many activities over the years. She will be remembered for her many thoughtful, kind and giving acts, as a wife, mother and member of the community.
