It was a true blessing to be a friend of Elaine’s. We were coworkers at East Town Sears for many years. She was a beautiful lady both inside and out. I always enjoyed our Saturday breakfast get togethers after retirement. We had no problem chatting for quite some time. Heaven is now her home. Bonnie Punzel

Mrs. Havey was a wonderful mother as I know a couple of her daughters and she did a fabulous job raising them. I used Angie as a babysitter when our kids were quite young and Colleen was a dental patient of mine for many years. I always looked forward to having her in my dental chair. I'm sure she will be missed by all her family and friends! My sympathy to the whole family!

The Havey's were our neighbors on Dempsey Rd for many years. Elaine always had a smile - a wonderful loving mother and friend. My heart goes out to all of the family - I know the hurt with the loss of a mother - but today and always - your many wonderful memories will bring smiles that will erase the tears. Sending my love and hugs to you today.

Elaine was such a wonderful person. She would never say a bad word about anyone. She also was a great bridge player. I enjoyed being her partner. She will be sadly missed. Diane Rachel
