Elaine Latimer Obituary




Elaine N. Latimer (born 20 February 1926) passed away in her Marysville home of 58 years on 14 Nov. 2013, surrounded by her family.

Wearing a hard hat with a pair of channel lock pliers on her belt, Elaine was the first female foreman at Del Monte Cannery where she worked for 30 years. She also worked as a teacher aid supporting the special education students. Her community service work included helping Hmong families adjust to their new life in the USA. A past member of the Valley Quilt Guild, Elaine won many ribbons and was the Featured Quilter in 1993. She was known for her bright and wild fabric. Elaine followed her favorite team (the Giants) closely and knew all of the players and their stats. She never lost her sense of humor or her love of fine fabric. Elaine inspired many family members and friends.

Preceded in death by her son Evan Lee Rice and daughter Gayle, she is survived by her children, Jody, Betti, Andy, Darra and Pauline Gee, 5 grandchildren and 5 great- grandchildren.

Elaine donated her body to SF Medical Center and requested that no service be held. Donations to Fremont- Rideout Hospice are encouraged.

I stopped to see Aunt Elaine when I was in the neighborhood a couple of years ago and it was one of the richest moments of my life. in spite of very limited time together throughout our lives, I knew she loved me still. She is family and is missed.

Elaine was wonderfully talented and will be missed by many who loved and looked up to her. My heart goes out to her family and friends. May her countless fabulous quilts continue to warm the hearts of all who snuggle beneath them. There is no doubt love in every stitch!

I treasure the Levi quilt Aunt Elaine made for me. Every time I use it to keep me warm I think of Aunt Elaine. She definitely was talented and shared that talent with other people. From our family to yours our thoughts and prayers are with you.
