She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and specialized in geriatric and diabetic care. After retiring in 2011, Elaine and Bob traveled in their RV all over the United States. They visited family and friends; hiked, and biked to their hearts content. Elaine was most happy when she was spending time with friends and family. She also enjoyed starting new craft projects and working in her garden. She was a social butterfly and the glue that held many a friendship and family bond together. A wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and devoted friend, Elaine will forever be in our hearts. 1:p 1:p
