Elaine was born on October 28, 1945 in Houston, Texas.  Her mother, Dorothy Smith Block passed away when Elaine was an infant; she was raised by her grandparents, Annie Rose Barnwell Smith and Thomas Jefferson Smith, in the Ebenezer Community of Pittsburg, Texas.

Growing up in Ebenezer, she had a special relationship with her second cousins, Sue Tidwell Cooper and Carol Tidwell Murphy. Sue and Carol were the sisters Elaine never had; she loved them dearly. Now Elaine will be united with their mother, her Aunt Olna, in heaven.

She enjoyed cooking and crafts. Elaine couldn't go anywhere without making a friend, she loved people! She enjoyed attending church and get togethers with her classmates from Pittsburg High School. She had many close classmates that continued to nourish their friendship until her last days on earth. Elaine's family is forever grateful for the love, compassion, and generosity of these loving friends.

Elaine loved her family and cherished her grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Elaine is preceded in death by her daughters, Donna Rose and Kimberly Ann.

She is survived by her daughter Teena Livengood, husband Mark and children Austin, Ryan, and Ethan of Iwakuni, Japan MCAS; her son Kenneth Couper, wife Heather and children Drew, Sydney, and Jase of Bonham, Texas; her daughter Kristin Estrada, husband Carlos and children Isaiah and Mia of Niceville, Florida. She is also survived by her late daughter Kim's sons: Forrest, Foster, and Ferris Milburn of the Dallas area.
