Elaine and I worked together many years ago. I remember her as a hard worker but mostly I remember respecting her as a strong independent woman that possessed a beautiful, free spirit. We shared a love of animals. I got a kitten from her and she got a cocker spaniel puppy from me. Peace to Elaine´s family

Elaine was such a dear friend since we met in 1965, who always kept in touch with me. Even though the last time we saw each other was in 1976 when she visited me in Pomona, CA. We always exchanged Christmas cards and I knew something wasn't the same when I didn't get a card and letter from her this year and I just today got my card to her returned to me. I'm sad to know she passed, but I know she is at peace with the Lord. She dearly loved all her children, grand children and great grand children and I always got an update on them...she was so blessed and she was a blessing to them. God's blessing to all her family.

Elaine was a very special lady -- I counted her as a friend. She was a reliable employee in CSPD at the Billings Clinic. May your memories bring you comfort. RIP Elaine.

Jenny and family, so sorry about the passing of your Mom. I remember her when she would bring surgery towels to the clinic, as well as all her little doggies. May she rest in peace and live on in your memories.
