In addition to raising her children, she was a beloved member of her couple’s club, participating in mahjong nights, and setting up poker nights for Davey. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, and in most recent years, her great grandchildren. Elaine was a grandmother of six and a great-grandmother of five.

Throughout her life, Elaine was known for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
