Although its been 25 years since leaving Buckeye, the news of Elaine's passing takes me back to Pop Warner cheer squad and Elaine's presence. She left a lasting impression on me as a young girl and I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in all of your memories.

To Elaine's family,
You do not know me, but I was a friend of your mother's in grade school before I left Buckeye. I always remembered how much energy she had as a kid and reading about all of her activities, it appears her energy and enthusiasm only increased during her life.
Her good friend Kathleen Grandy was kind enough to contact me about Elaine's passing.
My heart goes out to you, her family, and her community.
May God give you peace,

Joe, Byron, Martha, Jaycee, Clayton and Family, Elaine's deepest committment was first to you, her family, to her lifelong friends and to our town. She fought the good fight, not only for herself, but for many of us from time to time over the years. Although she often appeared tough, we were all most blessed by her big, generous, good heart. Having had Elaine as my lifelong, loyal friend for 60 years, I will miss her just always being around town. She was always there for us as we are here for you. My sympathy to you and all of us for her loss. My love and blessings to each of you. Kathleen
