She is a Mother of 3 grown children, 9 grand-children, and 3 great grand-children. She attended Abilene Christian University and got married when she was 18.
A studious Bible teacher and a creative energetic leader, she has overseen multiple women’s and children’s ministries over the years. As an example, Elaine was instrumental in starting a children’s bus ministry in a small Oklahoma town. She sold enough vacuum cleaners to buy the first bus to pick up children and bring them to church. With her enthusiasm and guidance, the ministry continued to grow, and eventually added 13 more buses. At its peak, the bus program was bringing in around 400 kids every week from the small community.
Elaine started her business career in grade school, selling cards and books door to door to earn money to buy her winter coat. Later, as a young Mother, she began selling Tupperware. She became top salesman in her town, then achieved state, then national recognition in the company. Realizing she had a gift for sales, Elaine got a real estate license and quickly became top salesman in her city, very unusual for a woman at that time. She later became a Broker and then started her own real estate and property development company. In addition to real estate, Elaine started another company called Elaine’s Frills, where she sold hand-made bridal garters, heirloom custom Santas, ladies clothing, and also marketed a line of dolls that she called the Cotton-Patch Kids.
Elaine says, “I’m not a writer. I started writing down my favorite sayings when my sister Louetta was diagnosed with lung cancer. She enjoyed hearing these quotes during the rough times. The doctor gave my sister 6 months to live…God gave her 3 years!”
Elaine adds, “My goal is to challenge each person with this: What good is Bible teaching if it does not have the practicality of putting it into our own lives?”
