Elaine’s mother died after three years in a T.B. Sanitarium when Elaine was only 9 years old. She and Shirley were separated from their brothers and spent most of their difficult childhood in Indiana foster homes. After her marriage to Glen, she found bountiful love in the embrace of the entire McGuire clan and was especially close to her wonderful nieces. She lived many blessed years in a place appropriately named “Happy Hollow.” She retired as a clerk in the Barren County Clerk’s Office where she established many lifelong friendships with co-workers and the citizens of Barren County. She attended Bethel Independent Baptist Church. Elaine was a charter board member of Josh’s Friends Inc. and weekly delivered birthday balloons to nursing home residents for several years.
