  • We are so sorry for your loss. Elaine was a beautiful and kind friend. Elaine was also a member of our "Room Mates Dinner Club". That Saskatoon Crumble that she made for our last dinner together was amazing. Amazing enough that we were planning to go Saskatoon picking with her once they were in season. Well Elaine now that you are in Heaven, you can watch us look for your Saskatoon patch and chuckle. Another thing, Elaine and Mel were married the year before Bryan and I. Her generosity shone when she was kind enough to lend me her wedding dress and veil for our wedding. Goodbye Dear Friend - Posted by: Maggie & Bryan Brooks (Teenage Roomates) on: Jun 24, 2017

  • We will always remember Elaine for her genuine friendship and gentle demeanor. Her passion for life shone through all she did for her family, friends, neighbors and community.
