Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryELAINE ERHART (WOODHALL, MILLS) February 24, 1944 - December 31, 2015 Born in Winnipeg to John and Lillian Woodhall, Elaine died in the company of her special friend, Dale DeMeyer at Action Marguerite-Taché Centre. Elaine resided in Sioux Lookout and Peace River prior to returning to Winnipeg. She possessed both a quick wit and keen sense of humour. Prior to her extended stay at Action Marguerite, Elaine held several professional management positions during her career. Her life-long passion was reading and she was very proud of her Mensa designation. She was predeceased by her siblings, Fred, David, Ann Hall, and Iris Marshall. She is survived by her daughters, Tracy and Trina. Also left to mourn her are sisters Barbara Marshall, Carol (Art) De'ath, Linda (Ric) Ksionzek, Valerie (Garry) Keen, and in-laws Cecile Woodhall and Bob Marshall. Thank you to the staff of Action Marguerite for the care Elaine received. Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 9 at Desjardins Funeral Chapel, 357 Des Meurons Street.

Only today, Sunday, January 10, 2016, did I look through the Winnipeg Free Press, and I read the news of Elaine's passing. I missed Elaine's Memorial Service. I was lucky enough to know Elaine, when she lived at Actionmarguerite (Centre Tache). In the announcement, Elaine is accurately described as a lover of reading books. Oh yes! I may be wrong, but I think that books may be near the top of any list of Elaine's "most-prized possessions", second to her children. Elaine recommended only a few "good reads" to me; careful recommendations. I have Elaine to thank, for giving me several gifts: the name of a book she recommended to me which is my #1 book, and, the gift of knowing Elaine. Elaine... oh, she was smart. I only found out from the announcement that she had status as a Mensa member, but, it all makes sense! Elaine had the intellect to converse very well!...knowing the appropriate lengths of conversations, keen and humorous and "spot on" comments about any subjects, a bit of sauciness thrown in, and, knowledge of life, people, and the human experience. I am grateful to have known Elaine, truly. When I think of her (and often I do!!!), the feeling that I have is one of respect and a bit of laughter at her "essence". Elaine is special; again, I am thankful that I knew Elaine, but, I know there was so much more to her than I knew! -- A.C. - Posted by: A. Cook (friend) on: Jan 10, 2016
