Elaine was a beacon of strength and compassion whose life spanned decades of profound change and progress. Born and raised near Cupar Saskatchewan, she eventually settled in Alberta and started a family with Otto. Elaine was known for her remarkable ability to make everyone feel valued, loved, and she accepted everyone for who they were, a gift she shared generously throughout her life. Devoting herself to her family was her greatest joy and strength. Whether hosting family gatherings filled with laughter and an occasional flying cupcake, sharing her favorite recipes, her annual Christmas bake offs, or offering a listening ear, her presence was a constant reminder of solidity for the entire family, nurturing and guiding us with grace and wisdom. Elaine’s warmth, kindness and dedication enriched the lives of all that were fortunate to know her and will be forever treasured.

 

In addition to her role as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother, she was employed at Central Park Lodge nursing home for many years and also volunteered at the Post. After retiring, she enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, China, Alaska and various locations in western Canada. Elaine very much enjoyed cooking, gardening, bird watching and her fishpond.

 

As per Elaine’s request there will not be a formal service. Her urn will be laid to rest with her husband at a private family service. A celebration of her life will be announced and held at a future date in Medicine Hat. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to AJ’S Loan Cupboard. Elaine’s family wish to thank Homecare staff for their care, patience, and support of our mother.
