Elaine worked as a cook at Ogema Elementary school for 29 years and served as janitor at Ogema Baptist Church for 30 years. Elaine also enjoyed her many friendships developed through her involvement in Bible studies, the Homemakers group, teaching children’s programs at church, participating in many 4-H activities, and working at Spirit-Hill-Ogema Fair and Price County Fair, as well as cooking for the Ogema Lion’s Club.
