While living in Worcester, Elaine worked for Sheraton Hotels and in later years while living in Southbury, CT she worked for the Stamford Advocate and then USA Today as a manager in the circulation and distribution departments. She was a longtime member of Christ the King Church and enjoyed sewing, gardening, camping, reading and sailing. She especially enjoyed travelling and most recently had discovered the majestic beauty of our National Parks having traveled west twice within the past two years. Elaine was a loving and caring woman who found a special quality in each member of her family and friends. She adored spending time with her grandchildren and made each of them feel special and loved.

To Elaine's Family: I am Larry Behr's cousin Christine and I just want you all to know how sorry we are that Elaine had to leave this life so early. I'm sure she had so many things left to do as she was such a busy and interesting person. My husband Bob and I will always remember our enjoyable visits to the campground and the special Christmas parties. We will miss her and send our thoughts and prayers to you all.

Dear Anne, Mike, and family,
I am so sorry to hear that you are all once again going through another tragic loss. My heart, my love, and my prayers go out to you all. Had I still been in Maine, I would have been there to offer my sympathy in person, but we left for Florida on Sunday. Please know that I'm thinking of you all with love.

I will always remember the sparkle in her crystal blue eyes when she spoke to you, especially if the conversation was about her grandkids. She called her illness "just a bump in the road" which made you feel lucky just to know such a strong woman. I will miss her deeply and think of her often. My heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.
