teas served with her homemade strawberry jam.

Quiz time and Elaine could be relied on for the answer to any question concerning
food, along with those relating to the natural world. Her knowledge of plants was
encyclopaedic and there was always a floral arrangement on our speakers’
table.
As a WI committee member her contributions of suggestions and ideas were
always welcome, as were her comments that kept us on the straight and narrow.
She was rightly proud of our Group picnic on Stanbarrow Fort when it was our turn
to host the annual group walk, and also when we fed a multitude of WI ladies at
Group Harvest Supper.
Whatever the event, occasion or meeting Elaine was there to help and support –
our sad loss.
