PITTSFIELD - Elaine J. (Barker) Wood Auger, 77, a longtime Pittsfield resident, died Tuesday, July 10, 2007, in Zephyrhills, Fla., where she had lived since 2001.

She also enjoyed the companionship of many wonderful and helpful neighbors and friends.
She leaves her husband, Paul Auger of Zephyrhills, Fla., and Pittsfield, whom she married in 2004.
