Elaine attended Texas Christian University as a music Major and appeared in several productions in Fort Worth theaters in the 1950's.

Her most important job was that of Mother and Homemaker. Elaine had many talents, including drawing and painting. Their home is filled with her beautiful expressions in oil, water color and pencil. They serve as enjoyable reminders of her talent, her love and her memory.
