Elaine was known for her constant love and positivity; this could be felt anytime she was around. She would empty her pockets just to make sure you had something in yours, simply because she cared, which remained in her character until her very last breath. She enjoyed watching game shows, usually accompanied by her cat Roamer, talking with her siblings, and spending time with her grandchildren and children. Elaine loved swimming at the beach with her granddaughter Molle-Jo and her partner Lee; especially Bayshore and Dominion Park. In her earlier years she also enjoyed going for drives on motorcycles and dancing with her loved ones. Elaine was a light of life to many, and she will be deeply missed. Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.

Arrangements are under the care of Castle Fallsview Funeral Home, 309 Lancaster Ave, Saint John, NB. Keeping with Elaine’s wishes cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers donations in Elaine’s memory can be made to NB Lung Association, Heart and Stroke, Bobby’s Hospice or a charity of the donor’s choice.
