Following cremation, Elaine will be interred at the Florida National Cemetery with her husband, Lyle. Cremation arrangements are under the care of the Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home with Crematory, Inverness, FL.
One of Elaine’s favorite religious songs she would sing is called “Suppertime”, which harkens to God calling us to heaven as would a mother calling for her children in the evening to suppertime. The song’s refrain is “Come home, come home, it’s suppertime. The shadows lengthen fast. Come home, come home, it’s supper time. You’re going home at last”.
