Elaine is my daughter's mother in-law and was my boss for 12 years at New England Courier. She was a great boss and good friend of mine and a great mother in-law to my daughter. She will be missed dearly and now she is in heaven with my wife Linda.

Elaine was a great gal who Debbie Jackson and Ted Anderson
will miss every time we go to the lodge. I always thought of her as the “Elks Elf” who never missed an opportunity to dig in and help on any project no matter what the task — and she did it selflessly and with a few laughs !
Elaine didn’t need to be asked to help — she always offered immediately.
She was a good friend to all at the lodge and set a good example for us all when we saw her with her children and grandchildren - the love she had for them showed through.
Love You Elaine - D & T

Elaine was such a wonderful friend to my mom in the waning years of mom’s life. She did mom’s taxes and was so patient with her. I ended up asking Elaine to do my taxes, and we developed a nice friendship for these many years. My condolences to her family...she was truly one of a kind!

My heart goes out to the family. Lorry, I'm so glad I got to meet your sister. She was kind, generous and witty! I fondly remember that dinner at the Backroom when she insisted on picking up my tab just because I was your good friend and it pleased her. She had a big heart, just like you, Lorry. Love and prayers ....

I remember the ridiculous bingo vest you made me wear at Foxwoods. It had pockets for my daubers, hahaha. Such good memories with you, Elaine. Halde Christmas, Foxwoods (I forgive you for taking that winning hand (lol), Elks, the great advice you gave me. You were one of the most selfless people I have ever met and I know wherever you are you are doing good. Give Cody and Mom a big hug for me. Love you

I will just miss Elaine. We met when I was looking for someone to do my taxes. She was doing a couple of other firefighter's taxes and they recommended her to me. That was around the year 2003. As time went by I ended up helping her a lot with her computers. I will miss the random calls to help come and fix her computers. She was a great person and will be missed.

Please except my condolences, and my prayers for peace. I worked closely with Elaine for over a year training for the Treasurers position at the Elks lodge 146 She was like a mom to me and I will miss her dearly. I met many of her family members who were taking care of her with lots of love and laughs she was so lucky to have a family who were so close to her and took such excellent care of her. My Thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you.
The Elks members also send there condolences and offer the hall for any remembrance or celebration of life party now or in the springtime

Our deepest sympathies to everyone who has had the privilege of knowing what a wonderful person, mother, sister and friend she was. She will always remain in our hearts. We met in our backyards of North Main Street and Flaherty Lane when we were so young, I have always said 70 years ago, when we were 3, but she would correct me by saying 5. I will miss her smiling face, her "Allo, Madame" whenever I called and her translations for my lost "french language". Our friendship has never lagged regardless of the years come and gone. She will be missed by so many!
If any memorial will be held at a later date, please let us know. Thank you.

Bob and I lived next door to Elaine for many years. She was always cheerful and full of life. Her enthusiasm was contagious was we spoke and we loved Erik and Tina. She’s gone, so young, and so many people she touched miss her. I hope her love of life will linger amongst us ....

Growing up Erik, myself and a couple other guys were band of brothers and "Miss Elaineous" was our team mom. She always provided a place for us to eat, sleep, shower and loiter even when we didn't deserve it.
I always considered Elaine to be a surrogate Aunt and I marveled at the way she raised her children all while being self employed.
One of the sweetest souls I have ever encountered, I really wish I could make it back east to be with the fam.

So many memories, so many laughs and stories....I will cherish them. Elaine touched my life and many others. Always there to listen, to help out however and whenever she could. No matter what she had on her plate to do, if you needed her, she was there. I loved her smile, her sense of humor and zest for living. An amazing woman, mother, sister and friend. Too soon gone from here but heaven is just brighter. My sincere sympathies to all the family. 🙏
