her final weeks enjoying many laughs over their cherished memories of the great times
shared together throughout their lives.
Bridge Club, golf, traveling and sharing gorgeous sunsets on the bay with family and
friends were a few of the many things that Elaine enjoyed. Elaine and Jack wintered in
Hawaii for many years. Jack always made sure that Elaine was greeted with a beautiful
Bird of Paradise flower arrangement to begin their few months away from the harsh
Wisconsin winters.
Elaine's final days were spent at home being lovingly cared for by her children. The
family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Unity Hospice for so caringly guiding
