Her beloved sister Joan Pagani Donaghue predeceased her in 2001. Elaine was raised in Hartford where she attended Bloomfield High School. In her early twenties Elaine moved to Manhattan where she attended art and design school before pursuing a career in advertising and developing a life long interest in art and design. Elaine returned to Hartford in 1968 and began a long career in law, working for many years as a trusts and estates paralegal before settling in at Wiggin and Dana as the wonderful example of what a professional receptionist should be. Elaine will be remembered for her appreciation of the finer things in life, art, music, literature, good food, fine spirits, and the love of family and friends. We will miss her.
