Elaine was born in Oklahoma City on August 11, 1948 and lived there most of her early adult life. Then in September 1974, she met her future husband (from Boston) who was working in Oklahoma City at the time. The attraction and union was immediate and Elaine moved to Boston, MA in October of 1974 and the following September 6, 1975 they were married in Concord, MA.

She was a devoted wife and mother, an avid book reader and she loved going to the beach. Elaine had a positive spirit and attitude that was infectious as well as the ability to make friends easily. She loved to bake and would always sing while baking. Her favorite flower was the Sunflower. She was a lover of cats and dogs, and her favorite dog was Chester.

After over 40 years living in Boston Elaine and Mark decided to retire to Longboat Key in May of 2020. She would always refer to her new home each morning as “another beautiful day in Paradise”.
