Elke was born on December 16, 1946, in Lollar, Germany, to the late Wilhelm and Margarete Krick. Her true joy and pride came from her roles as a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and adored great-grandmother. Throughout her remarkable 51-year marriage to her beloved husband, Jim, Elke exemplified unwavering support as a proud military wife. She was a loving and caring mother who was renowned among family and friends for her delicious German meals.

Her home was a place of warmth and hospitality where visitors never left empty-handed as she had a unique gift to share with everyone she welcomed. Spending time with Elke was synonymous with shared laughter and a brighter outlook on life. Her outgoing personality endeared her to all she met and strangers became friends in an instant within her presence. 

Some of Elke's hobbies included her passion for plants which was evident in the thriving greenery under her care. She also had a discerning eye for brass collectibles, amassing a stunning collection over the years that brought joy to her life. 

Elke's memory will be treasured by all whose lives she touched with her kindness and love including her 3 children, Sabrina Allen and husband James of Fayetteville, NC, Diana Kay Davis Golden and husband Randy of Havelock, NC, and Steven Davis and wife Sarah of Newport, NC; sisters, Renate Krick and Giesela Caspari; grandchildren, Becky Davis, Tommy Davis, Katlyn Golden, James Golden, Audrey Kamen, Zachary Davis, Liam Davis, and Kenzie Wilson; and great-grandchildren, Diesel, Cameron, Michael-James “MJ”, Nevaeh, Katalya, Lucas, Gage, and Cheyanne.
