So sorry to hear of Elain’s passing. Just found out today. Elaine was always a plesant person and while she had some difficulties in her life she was not one to complain. Elaine always had some positive comments regarding her children and extended family.
She will be missed and our hearts go out to her family.

Dear cutie pie…we had so many giggles in study hall and a couple of classes. I loved our get togethers after our 45th class reunion. I loved when you reprimanded me and called me “hey missy” when we joked around. Miss YOU…behave in heaven..or try until we get there.💜

Elaine,
I sure will miss chatting with you. I hoped to get up to Michigan to visit friends again and now will miss seeing you again. Please hug and kiss Thomas for me. I know he is happy to see you again. You were always kind and loving to me. You always had a happy spirit even when you didnt feel well. Rest in peace now. I will see you when I get there.
Your friend,

Elaine was one of my true friends. She was always kind to me from the first time we met in school. I was so happy that she married into our family, and we could keep that connection forever! I’m going to miss her!! Love and hugs to the rest of her family and friends. 💔💔💔

Elaine was my childhood friend. We road the bus together to Lakes, Moffitt Hill, Cannonsburg and Crestwood schools. All those schools and neither of us moved. She always had big smile when she’d get on the bus and brought spring flowers to the teachers. RIP dear friend

Elaine was the glue on the Bennett side of the family. Always happy and willing to help in any way she could. Outgoing and very adventurous, one of my favorite cousins, growing up we had a very large family, we spent a lot of time on her family’s farm, riding horses, and sliding down the big hill, during summer months and winter. In recent years when it came to family gatherings, she was always involved, it took all of us and she was always there. I will miss here as many will.
Mày she be now in peace with all in the family that have passed. God rest her soul.
