I miss you so much Grammy. Love you lots❤️.

Elaine was a beautiful person with a big smile. She was a great teacher, having taught 3 of my grandchildren at Cole Elementary. I enjoyed those years as I got to see and talk to her often.  I always admired the calm way she dealt with her students. My grandchildren loved her and each grew and developed so much under her care. Elaine loved her family. She often talked about her daughters and her grandchildren sharing any new photo she had. She was very proud of her husband, Rick, and his accomplishments in education. We send our love, sympathy, and prayers to her family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. May all the years of happy memories sustain you now and forever. She will always be in our hearts.  Bob and Janice

Rick this is the last picture ever taken of my wife Linda before she passed in 2018. It is a very special picture for me as you would think. Elaine and Linda are now in heaven together waiting for us. Rick I truly know your sorrow. God bless you and your family.

Elaine was a wonderful teacher and mentor! I had the privilege of working with her at Cole in 1998 as her student teacher. She was supportive and gave me the tools to start my teaching career. Years later, she taught both of my daughters. She loved and nurtured them as well. I always enjoyed stopping by to visit her on Back to School or Open House events. She will always be their favorite teacher, and mine as well! ❤️

I have wonderful memories of my cousin, Elaine.  I was in her wedding and when my parents would visit her parents, she and I had a few adventures and great visits.  We lost touch over the years and I reconnected with her in the last 4 years primarily through  social media.  My parents loved visiting her parents.  Her dad was my mom's favorite cousin.  I knew Elaine as a vibrant young woman and she remained that way until the end.  I regret not seeing her over the years but I am so happy she had a wonderful family that supported her every step of the way.  I wish her family peace and calm.  Elaine is an angel by their side, watching over them.  


The angels are rejoicing to have Elaine among them. It is sad for us who will miss her...but we have to be excited for her. We can't even begin to fathom how glorious Heaven is. This life here is just a blink....but Heaven is for eternity! Life here isn't the "main event"....eternity is! Because we can trust what The Bible promises us, we KNOW that Elaine is in Heaven.

I had the privilege of teaching with Elaine for a year at Cole. We shared a classroom along with lots of laughs and stories! She was always encouraging and full of wisdom both to me as a teacher and as a mom . I appreciated her warm smile and kinds words.  She was clearly a mom (and grandma) who adored her family and of course her beloved Rick. I could tell she was just as in love with him as the day she met him.
