Born December 18, 1945 in Southern California she met the love of her life and was married immediately following graduation from high school. She was an amazing military wife who exceled at taking care of her family, packing up and moving when the government ordered it (33 times) and being a loving and devoted wife and mother. She was a crafter and baker and relished being a housewife. Elaine was preceded in death by her parents, Hubert and Mary Lorna Hawk, and her husband, Sidney Hoder.

She was the heart and soul of our family and was so loved, she will be dearly missed. At Elaine's request, there will be no services, but before she passed she made it known she wanted us all to share a laugh and raise a shot of Irish Whiskey in celebration of her journey home to reunite with her soulmate, Sid. "Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear."
