Elaine was a wonderful person and good friend of my mother, Rita Wells. They shared many good times as “Lovejoy Lovelies.” May she rest in peace. Sincere sympathy from the Wells Family
Elaine was such a dear friend to my mother and of our family. I have many wonderful memories of camping, July 4 parties and flag cakes, and other fun things we did with Elaine and her family, and the other members of the Lovejoy Lovelies, Such a wonderful lady. She will be greatly missed by so many. ❤️
I am saddened by the loss of my Aunt Elaine. When I think of her, I remember her gentleness and sweetness to all.
To Mary, Jeanie, Art, and your families –
