Upon meeting her husband, William Glaros whom she married September 25, 1976 Elaine became a proud wife, mother and homemaker throughout her life were her main priorities. She was very proud of her daughter’s accomplishment of being the first woman in the family to start an outpatient mental health counseling practice business in Austintown, OH and Frederick, MD to keep the family tradition going as her father owned his own gasoline station business in Salem, OH.  Elaine was a great cook and her family will miss all the wonderful Italian dishes she would make for them and especially her homemade Chicken Soup.

Elaine had many passions in her life. She enjoyed going to music concerts and loved animals especially spending time with her her grandfurbabies-Buddy-cat, Harley-cat and Bella-dog.
