Elaine retired from office work at Western States Envelope Co. She was a very good bowler in her younger years. Elaine enjoyed living in the warm desert of Pahrump, Nevada for the past 15 years. She loved all of her little dogs who went before her, including Cheech, Tami and Pixie. We all know Elaine loved to play Bingo. Please let there be Bingo in heaven.
