She lived in Seattle for 24 years prior to moving to Whidbey Island in 1972, and then to Ferndale in 1990. Elaine lived her life helping others. As a beautician she provided services for those who were elderly and shut-in. She taught vacation Bible school when her children were young and she worked for several years in the veterinary clinic in Ballard. Elaine also served lunches in the Senior Center after retiring.
