She also worked at the Maid of Scandinavia and Sweet Celebrations for over 40 years and belonged to the Swedish Institute and Women's Club of St. Louis Park. Elaine was the consummate hostess, loving to entertain both family and friends. She was an excellent cook and baker - her recipe box was overflowing with great meals and desserts. Also, as an avid card player, she belonged to many bridge clubs and, in later years, played 500 with her neighbors. Elaine also enjoyed fun filled outings and parties on their boat and later at their cabin on Trillium Lake in Hackensack, MN. Her passion though, was for her family, starting with when she met the love of her life Earl in 1946 on a blind date and marrying him June 5, 1948. They were together for 53 years before his death in 2001. Her love for her children was unprecedented, always there for them and willing to listen. Preceded in death by husband, Earl and son, Tom.
