The Pfeffer Funeral Home & All-Care Cremation Center, Manitowoc, are assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
Elaine enjoyed her high school summers with her aunt and uncle in Texas on Shell Island in the Gulf of Mexico, especially the group swims with porpoises. She loved living a block from Lake Michigan, watching baseball, the Indy 500 and the Kentucky Derby. She was surely the best sport when it came to pets. She helped her children with 2 cats, 3 dogs, 2 parakeets, 1 hamster, 2 chickens, 4 ponies and one burro. Her children and grandchildren were her joy complete with nicknames: Molly by Golly, the Cardinal, Mr. Wonderful and Mr. Sunshine.
