Elaine was an active member of Knox United Church (Agincourt).  She sang in the choir and participated in many church activities.  The support and helpfulness of her “church family” was truly appreciated.

She took a great interest in needlework and crocheting.  Many cherished friendships were made at The Scarborough Needle arts Guild where she attended weekly meetings.

The family of Elaine wish to thank the caring doctors and nurses at UHN and NYGH as well as the PSW’s that provided Elaine’s home care.
