Elaine Cox Harley

Oh I loved working with Elaine back in the late 80s in the old hospital (the one built in the 50's). We worked ICU together and she was such a wonderful coworker! In her later years, always a blessing to see her and catch up on the happenings of life. Elaine definitely made a positive difference in the world!

Elaine was a force of nature! She recruited me to help her during the county fair. The Lions Club had a big motor home that had several checkup stations set up. . I took blood pressure, Elaine did hearing tests, and two other people did "something." We had a short time without visitors, so we gave each other hearing tests and laughed a lot. I liked that we could argue, but she would still give me a hug when we saw each other. Elaine will be missed.

My memory of Elaine is how she "stayed up with" everyone in Yachats community and would discreetly share what she could. Her caring sprit was demonstrated in their final years for husband Bert & son-in-law Jon Nestor!

Prayers for Elaine´s family. I knew her for a very long time! I remember her at the doctor office way back in the day. However, my older sister Tina and Kristie were great friends and I remember that very well. Elaine always asked how everyone was whenever I ran into her and she always has a smile.

I remember Elaine as being kind, compassionate and highly intelligent. We would always laugh and enjoy life when we were together. It was an honor to know her. Sending condolences to her family.

Elaine´s natural nursing ability made her was like a mom to everyone she met, caring about their well-being. Those caring for her later in life were often asked, "Are you doing okay?" She listened to a person´s problems and when she said she would pray, she did! She laughed at hard things-something she said her parents taught her that helped them get through struggles. It was a privilege to have known her and to have been influenced by her.

I am so sorry that my husband and I will not be able to attend the services for Elaine as we will be in another area of the state.. She and Bert were such good friends from Yachats Lions Club. They were both true examples of true Lions and examples to all of us on living a great life,

Our love and prayers to you all during this difficult time Will always remember the trips to Yachats...one in particular was a large crab feed. Elaine and Bert were always welcoming to our family.
