Working as a floral designer for many years in the Brandon and Riverview area, Elaine created endless joy with her beautiful and elegant arrangements. She was a proud member of First Baptist Church of Riverview and always loved talking and meeting new people. Although providing for her family throughout her life as a single parent was often a struggle, Elaine found that a hard-work ethic combined with her unwavering faith was a winning recipe for continued success.

Comforted with family and friends by her side last week, Elaine stated that she was finally ready to go home and be with Jesus. She will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held at First Baptist Church of Riverview on March 1, 2024 from 11am until 1pm. The family will receive loved ones and friends from 11am-12pm with celebration services to follow from 12-1pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to LifePath Hospice, American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
