Elaine lived life to the fullest. She loved the outdoors. If it happened outside, she was right there. She loved growing things, and always planted a garden as well as canned what she harvested. When hunting season rolled around, you can bet she was in a deer stand waiting on that big buck. Oh, and let’s not forget fishing, if the weather was nice, you’d find her in a boat on the river catching the “big fish” as she would say. But when the day was winding down, she would sit down to relax and love on her sweet babies, Mitsy and Daisy, her precious little dogs. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
