CUMING (MURRAY)- Macil Elaine (nee: Johnstone) went home to be with her Lord on November 19, 2003.

She was predeceased by her parents Arthur and Macil Johnstone, brother Ron Johnstone, first husband William (Bill) Murray, second husband Charles Cuming, and brother-in-law Gordon Coleman.

Left to mourn her passing are her sister Verna (Jack) Baumber, brother Lorne (Ruth) Johnstone, son Bob (Lynda) Murray all of Regina, and daughter Diane (Jim) Mayer of Winnipeg.

Elaine also leaves her grandchildren Stephen (Elizabeth), Heather and Holly Murray of Regina, and Laura (Kevin) McArthur and their children Kennedy and Cooper, and Colin (Tammy) Mayer and their children Dakota and Ryan of Winnipeg, sister-in-law Vi Coleman of Saskatoon.

Elaine's family was rounded out by her step-family including Dale (Marlene) Cuming, Ron (Elizabeth) Cuming, Doug (Barbara) Cuming, Zelda (Lance) Nelson, Blanche (Henry) Hopp and their children and grandchildren.

She also leaves numerous nieces and nephews. Elaine was born in Weyburn on April 26, 1916 and raised on the family farm in Yellow Grass. Elaine was married to her first husband, Bill, for 26 years until his death in 1962 and her second husband, Charles, for 30 years until his death in 1995.

Elaine was a long-time resident of Regina and spent the last years of her life in Santa Maria Nursing Home. Elaine was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a teacher by profession and carried this penchant for teaching through to the hours spent with her grandchildren reading, playing games, and making wonderful creations.

In Elaine's own words, one of her greatest joys was following the progress and achievements of her many grandchildren and watching them grow up as persons who were very dear to her.

She will be eternally missed by all of us. At her request, the service and interment will be a private, family affair to be held on Monday, November 24, 2003 at Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Regina Humane Society. Arrangements are entrusted to Regina Funeral Home (Phone 789-8850)
