Elaine and Billy were blessed with 5 children: Billy Gregory, Jeffrey Ray, Marshall Kay, Stephanie and Stacie Ann. They resided in Crescent Utah and later moved to Sandy where they continued to raise their family until the passing of Billy in 1970. She courageously carried on raising the family until July 1979 when she met and married Stanley Singleton. They brought two families together totaling 8 sons and 2 daughters. They served 4 missions for the LDS church; 3 in Nauvoo and 1 in Reno Nevada. They were married for 33 years before Stanley passed away in August 2012.
