My Deepest Condolences to Elaine's Family. I first met Elaine in 1965 when I was discharged from the Navy she broke me in on the carburetor line at BC Chevrolet and we became friends from that day forward. As a Legionnaire you could always depend on Elaine for a helping hand when it was needed. Her attendance for the Honor Guard funeral detail was second to none. Post 18 has lost a fabulous member.

Your mother was a wonderful friend to my mother, Marilyn for many years. After Mom passed I would see Elaine occasionally at different functions and we would catch up on what our families were doing. Wayne and I now reside in florida so I am unable to attend the funeral service. Please accept our sympathy for your loss..The Killingworth family

My sincerest condolences to the family of Elaine in your time of loss. I did not know her but she was a Veteran and that would make us lifetime family. I was raised in Bay City and was sent to Wolverine Boys State in 1956 by American Legion Post 18 and the Lions Club of Bay City. Elaine has now joined "Post Everlasting". Thank you for your service, courageous lady! I remain faithfully your fellow Legionnaire and Past Department Commander, The American Legion, State of Colorado.

I'm so sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. I had the pleasure of caring for her up until last September. She was a sweet yet spunky lady. She reminded me a lot of my grandma, and we shared a special bond. She would always try to "tip" me for my help, and would get upset when I wouldn't take it. I had to put it in my pocket, and slip it back in her drawer when she was asleep :)
I loved hearing her stories of being in the navy, her younger years with her beloved husband, and her special...

I would try to visit with Aunt Elaine every time that I came back to Bay City. She looked forward to the sugar free treats. Such an independent lady! She told me about her life and showed me the pictures hanging in her room. She sure is a beautiful person. I share her love of dogs. She loved her Sara. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
