Birth date: Jun 14, 1934 Death date: Aug 25, 2018
Elaine Brown Whelton went to heaven on August 25, 2018, one year after the death of her husband of 60 years, Maurice Patrick (“Paddy”) Whelton. Elaine was born in Albany, New York on June 14, 1934, to Lilyan Rita Brown and James M Read Obituary
Elaine would maybe only remember us because we (Micki Slade and I - Chris) played host to her daughter, Bridget, back in the 80s when she came over to UK on a study year... and Elaine visited us all during that time... They packed a lot into a very short time. And, because of our ongoing friendship with Bridget, I've ended up now painting a portrait of Elaine. And, because of our own experiences after the passing of a loved one (or two) I know that she will see it. In fact I'm hoping for some help... My, but I hope it works out well! So, look over my shoulder Elaine and lend me a hand... my reputation depends on it! Chris & Micki Slade - Worthing,Sussex - UK.
"Ma," as I called her, was a true matriarch. When it came time for the birth of each of our three children, she was the first one there, offering much-needed advice and support. And she was there for all of her grandchildren, always praising and offering words of wisdom. Her Thanksgiving dinners were second to none, not to mention the crawfish "berl" she threw for Denise and me when we got engaged. But perhaps our fondest memories of you, Ma, are at the lake house--The Brown Derby--with family reunions, flotillas across the lake, and dinners on the porch. Our family get-togethers won't be the same without you, Ma, but you and Paddy will always be in our prayers. Rest peacefully, Ma. You were, and always will be, loved by many. Carl.
