Elaine (mom) was loving, compassionate, eager to travel and learn but also a feisty and fierce protector of who and what she believed in.
Her compassion served her, her family and the community well. She was a nurses aid for 35+ yrs. In nursing homes, hospitals and private duty assignments. All with glowing references. She also loved working the polls at election time and several positions on the neighborhood watch program.
She also showed us love and compassion for animals. Even the not so lovable ones. So, yes mom, I will take care of your #!$% cat!
You are and will be deeply missed!
