The entire Showalter family is saddened to hear of Elaine's passing. Our heartfelt condolences to Elaine's family.
Elaine was such a lovely soul. She worked for my Dad and my Uncle who operated Sanford S. Gooding Printing. Elaine always greeted everyone with a smile and a truly pleasant personality. She was always helpful to me whenever I needed anything... The pestering over the years by all of the Showalter children who would pop into the plant never seemed to bother her.
The best story she ever told me was when a salesman came into the shop one day, asking to speak to Sanford Gooding... and she said he was not at the shop, but she gave him directions to where he was. When the salesman followed the directions, he ended up at Cold Springs Cemetery. He came back to the shop later that day, hat in hand, and asked Elaine who he should talk to. She always loved that story.
Thank you for being such a great part of our lives.
