Passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on February 13, 2017 at the age of 85. Beloved wife and best friend of John Sr. for 62 years. Loving mom of Susan, Carol Ball (Rich), John Jr. (Patti), Jean (David) Hofstetter, Debbie (Ken) Datka and Michael. Adored grandma of Cassie, Charlie (Sarah), Emma (Doug), Karianne (Max), Kyle, Kelly, Alan, Jake, Camerine and Kaleb. Dearest sister of Paul (Bev) Jacobson. Elaine will be greatly missed by other relatives and many friends.

Elaine was an avid bingo player and enjoyed rummage sales. Her greatest love was family. She loved to have the grandkids do her hair and she rewarded them with a quarter every time. She always made the grandchildren feel special and cherished all of her family gatherings.

A Visitation will take place on Saturday February 25, 2017, at the FUNERAL HOME, from 10 AM until 12 PM. A procession will follow the visitation to St. James Catholic Church for Mass of Christian Burial at 1 PM.  

The family would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to the staff at the Waukesha Memorial Heart Care Unit and the staff at Linden Grove of Mukwonago for the wonderful care they provided Elaine.
