So sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. I knew her from the many years we both worked at Labatts. She was always a genuine friendly lady that always had time to stop and chat. She will be sadly missed by all of the Labatt people who knew her. My condolences to her family

To David and family, our deepest condolences on the passing of Elaine. She was a key player on our Labatt Human Resources Team during my tenure with Labatt. Both effective and efficient and always so willing to listen and offer advice........and someone you could always count on. I know she will be lovingly remembered by her family, her friends and co-workers. Some people come into our lives and leave without a trace; others (like Elaine) leave an imprint in our hearts and minds forever. We hope our warmest thoughts and sympathy will bring a small measure of comfort to Elaine's loving and devoted family. With our love............Jack and Nancy

I am so saddened by your loss of a truly lovely women. Elaine and I got to know each other very well during my early days at Labatt. She helped orient me during my early days with the company and as the years progressed we became great comrades. The memories of our many years together even as I moved around with the Company, brings a huge smile to my face and warmth in my heart. How much we laughed and enjoyed our times together. She embodied the values of the company in everything she did and with everyone she met. Even though we haven't been in touch for many years - her presence is still very close. I send her dear family love and gentle days during this difficult time. Susan
