She will also be missed by her brothers-in-law, Dennis Kostchuk, Larry Hunnie and Stanton Seymour as well as her nieces, Lynn Funk, Audra Hunnie (Rene) and Denise Hunnie-Menow (Darryl) and their families.

Elaine was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, spent her childhood in the Elmwood area on William Newton Avenue. She completed her education at Elmwood High School. After high school she worked at Hudson Bay House, Consolidated Motors and Parkside Ford. Elaine then joined the team at Athletes Wear, where she dedicated her service until her retirement in 2000.

Elaine and Dad met at the age of six, living five houses apart. They started dating in their teens and got married in Winnipeg after Mom returned from living in Vancouver with her sister Dianne for a year. They settled in North Kildonan and raised two children. Elaine had various hobbies including ceramics, quilting, gardening, and golf. She also enjoyed camping and fishing and cherished the many years at the family cabin at Big Whiteshell Lake. In later years Mom and Dad enjoyed their yearly visits to Yuma, Arizona where they enjoyed golfing, BBQ’s and making many friends during happy hour.

The family would like to thank the staff on the 3rd floor at Kildonan Personal Care Home for the compassion and care they showed Mom over the last three years. Dad would like to extend special gratitude to Marcie, Lucy and Emily.

In accordance with Elaine and her family’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral service. The family will hold a small private service at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, if desired, a donation may be made in memory of Elaine to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba www.alzheimer.mb.ca or the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, www.heartandstroke.ca
