Elaine went to elementary school 1st grade and part of 2nd grade in River Heights when the school burned down and she was then taken to Providence thru 8th grade, then on to Hyrum and South Cache High School graduating in 1955, also from Seminary.

She attended “Dental Assistants Training School in 1956, in Seattle Washington, and she worked in that capacity for many years in Idaho Falls, Logan, and San Jose California.
She then went to work for Memorex while in San Jose. She came back to Logan and worked as a Travel Agent until she got tired of the cold weather. On October 14, 1975 she got in her car and headed for warmer climate in Arizona, never having been to Arizona before and didn’t know a soul.
She worked for Greyhound chartering buses for groups of people. She also loved taking advantage of free travel and went many places. She served a mission to the Central British Mission 1961-1962.
In 1983 She was called as one of the first single Relief Society Presidents of a regular family oriented ward, Phoenix 3rd Ward. She was always very active in her church. Art and Elaine served in the Mesa Temple for many years until Art had his stroke and couldn’t serve.
