Born at her family home in Alturas, Florida on January 23,1928, Elaine was the third of six children of Anthony and Vera Harkey. Over the years, she has called Alturas, Bartow, Winter Haven, Orlando, and Windermere her home. Elaine will be remembered for her kindness, appreciation of beauty, impeccable sense of style, and strength of spirit. She dedicated her life to her family and friends, always constant with a listening ear, a helping hand, and a wonderful smile backed by a contagious sense of humor. She loved the art of ballroom dancing and would be happiest on the dance floor.
Up to the end of her story, Elaine maintained a life filled with grace, dignity, and devotion to those she loved. While she worked for many years as a supervisor in the auditing department for Polk County Clerk of Courts in Bartow, Florida, her greatest roles in life were Mother and Nana.
She is survived by her daughter, Pam Dunn of Orlando, Florida; granddaughter, Bennett Dunn of Melbourne, Florida; siblings Beth Hughes (husband - Charles) of Bartow, Florida, Hilda Knox Betts of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Adrian “Bud” Harkey (wife - Shirley) of Homosassa, Florida; and eleven nieces and nephews.
No funeral or memorial services will be held.
