She was the cherished daughter of Milner (Frances) Hawes and the late Velma Hawes.
Elaine is survived by her beloved husband of over 52 years Richard Allsteadt and her children David (Connie) Hawes and Lori (Craig) Rosenbaum. Her pride and joy were her grandchildren: Chandler (Gary) Adams, Will (Rachel) Hawes, Skyler Belmonte, Leila Hawes, Katie Hawes and Robbie Rosenbaum. Elaine's heart was especially full with the arrival of her great-granddaughter Ella Hawes.
Elaine was a sister in the truest sense steadfast and caring to Geri Whitfield, Bruce (Jury) Hawes and Gary (Nancy) Hawes. She also leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews.
