My dear Great Aunt Elaine was a soft spoken, sweet and funny lady who exuded a warmth that everyone around her felt. She had a smile and a laugh that made others smile too. As a child I remember just enjoying being around her. She was a wonderful soul and I’m sending hugs to her children and grandchildren who I know will miss her dearly. Heaven has gained a special spirit.
My grandma was an amazing and very funny person. She and my grandpa Bill were married for over 70 years and loved each other very much. I will always love and miss her. 💜
Our sincere condolences to Bill, Julie and all of your family. Elaine was a wonderful person with a ready smile and a warm heart. She always made us feel welcome and we will miss her. Our prayers go with you.
To the Wahl family, we are so sorry for your loss. Bill and Elaine we’re good friends of my parents. Tom Mckinley and family.
We have so many great memories of Elaine. She was always ready for some fun and laughs. She and Bill always included us in the gatherings at West Lake, and treated us like family. Heaven has gained a great lady! Our sincere condolences to Bill, Julie and Jeff, Randy and Jackie, and Mark and Wendi, and to all of her grandchildren.
Way after the event I still miss Elaine. She was the coolest mother-in-law ever.
