Elaine Ham

Elaine Marynuk Ham died January 26, 2025. Born in Brattleboro, Vermont in 1951, she was the daughter of Edward and Helen (Nebelski) Marynuk of Guilford, Vermont. She graduated from Brattleboro Union High School in 1968 and from Hartford Hospital School of Nursing in 1971. She worked at several institutions around the Hartford, Connecticut area. She is survived by her son Christopher, his wife Christa, and their daughter Lyra. Also, by 2 sisters and their husbands, Mary Marynuk and Terry Gray, and Myrea (Mea) and Kenny Whitworth, and several cousins. Also, a "3rd sister", Jae (Ham) Whitelaw and her family, with whom she remained very close. Elaine wanted to thank Michele Sadlosky and her family for treating Elaine as part of their family for 50 years. And a special gratitude and thanks to those who have supported Elaine for 25+ years (you know who you are). Spare time interests included quilling, needlework, knitting, and crossword puzzles. Saturday evenings were saved for dinner and cards with friends. Elaine was usually the dessert maker; her special blueberry pie was always a party pleaser. Funeral services will be private and at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Newington Food Bank or the Newington Volunteer Ambulance.
