Elaine was a member of the Secular Franciscan Order, for more than 40 years. She served many years as Secretary, Vice President and President for her Fraternity. She lived her life following Christ in the footsteps of St Francis. She was an active member of the prayer ministries in New Jersey and Florida, devoting her life to the ministry of the sick, learning, living and practicing the healing words of Christ for all those she met and ministered to. Elaine was devoted to Mother Mary, traveled on a missionary trip with her mother Maeve to Medjugorje, climbed the mountain, visited the Vatican, walked in the gardens where St Teresa the little flower lived, visited the church where St Francis preached and she walked through the healing waters of the Grotto of Massabielle in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France. She was truly blessed and shared that with all those she loved. Elaine was more than happy to be the central figure in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Anyone who knew her, knew that she was the star in their eyes, and that's all that ever mattered to her. May mom rest in eternal peace in the arms of the Lord, and dance with her beloved husband and waltz with the angels on clouds of joy and happiness. Rest In Peace dear mother, you will be missed and loved forever.
