A beautiful, happy child, Elaine loved wearing her majorette uniform that matched her Aunt’s and attending weekly football games. Elaine’s keen sense of humor, laughter, beauty and loyalty were outstanding qualities that made her relationships and the world rich. Her years at Irving Nimitz High School formed forever friendships based on unconditional love and free of judgement. As an adult, Elaine spent Sunday afternoons with Mama Toots and Granddaddy cheering the Dallas Cowboys and sharing a mutual love for Troy Aikman with her Grandmother.
