Elaine also worked part-time for Nelson’s Hallmark shop in Minneapolis and later, Myron’s Hallmark shop in St. Cloud. Elaine was a quiet person but very pleasant and took everything that came her way. Elaine was known for her patience and independence. She loved to travel, play cards and bingo, go to the casino, and loved her grandkids very much. She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church and belonged to the Altar Guild and was also a member of the East Side VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
Survivors include her daughter Traci (David) Schuneman of Rice; son Tony (Shelly) Dollar of Albertville; grandchildren Justin (Ally), Bradley, Whitney, and Kenzie (Zach); great-grandchildren Kyra and Noah; and sister Ruth Reber of Sauk Rapids. She was preceded in death by her parents; sister Irene Zwick; brothers Bill and Ray Lovitz; and brother-in-law Don Zwick.
The family would like to thank Good Shepherd Memory Cottages and St. Croix Hospice for their care of Elaine.
