Elaine previously worked in retail including the former Anderson-Newcomb as a buyer. She was renowned amongst her family and friends as a very accomplished decorator, had a flair for fashion, and a talent for creating arts and crafts. Her recollection was remarkable; at the age of 95, she wrote a story about her humble beginnings growing up on the William’s family farm at Foster Hollow. Both Elaine and Fletcher were proud of be involved in a scout troop in Huntington which formed lifelong friendships with many scouts from the Westmoreland area. She enjoyed sharing memories of the fun times and life events about the scout troop. In 1995, Elaine moved to Aiken, SC to join many Aunts, Uncles, and cousins who had settled there to work at the Savannah River Plant. Special thank you to Cousin Kathy Dolin and friend Sharon Duckett for their love and care for many years. Sincere appreciation to Hitchcock Square Senior Care Center and to Agape Hospice for their special care over the past few months.
