• Notes

  Elaine grew up in Colorado, the eldest of three girls. At the roller rink where she worked, she met and married a young Army private who whisked her 1000 miles away from home to a completely new life. She raised four boys and a chihuahua named Tinkerbell in a tiny manufactured home that was always clean, currently decorated and a peaceful refuge. Once the family was settled, they began making the two-day drive to Colorado every other year. In off-years, Elaine's parents came to Texas. She spent much of her time at her dining room table chatting with visitors or on the phone and watching her soaps. The table was the focal point for family and friends and its chairs were seldom empty. Elaine couldn't drive a car and she swam like a rock but she was a great mom, grandmother and mother-in-law.
