After graduation, Elaine was a telephone operator. Her family ran a business near Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, NY where she met her husband of nearly 65 years.  Elaine raised her family in her hometown of Rome, New York for many years, but moved to Ohio when her husband’s job took him back to the Cleveland area and ultimately, Valley View. After her children were all finally in school, Elaine worked at United Savings Bank (later TransOhio) where she met her dear friends Chris Piazza and Janice Gembarski. Later, Elaine worked at Hough Bakery and Koinonia Homes but eventually found her “home away from home” working for Valley View with Clerk-Treasurer Carol Tomasko.
