That same year, a young man came to have dinner with her family, and according to Elaine, she knew as soon as she looked at his bright-blue eyes that he was her love. She married William Harold Smith on Nov. 18, 1939 and they settled in Ocean Beach, where they lived for most of their 55-year marriage. They wel- comed their only child, Elizabeth Ann, in 1945. Though she only had one daughter, Elaine tended to "adopt" others, and there are many men and women around the world who ELAINE E. SMITH think of her as a surrogate mother or grandmother. She was an active member of Point Loma United Methodist Church for more than 40 years, and lovingly served her church family in many capacities, as she did the rest of her family, with equal parts kind- ness, generosity, wisdom and orneri- ness. Elaine was an active contributor in the community. During World War II, she volunteered at Mercy Hospital as a nurse's aide. She also led Girl Scout troops, volunteered for Loaves and Fish- es and the Ocean Beach Kite Festi- val. She walked everywhere, often car- rying a homemade dish with her to various events and meetings. The birthday cakes she baked proba- bly numbered into the thousands. Even into her eighties, she spoke of visiting her "elderly shut-ins." She was well- known by everyone from bank tellers to meter readers for tipping with home- made cookies. Numerous babies have been warmed by her beautifully embroi- dered blankets and untold numbers of people have been comforted and nour- ished with the cups of tea, sandwiches, flowers or hugs that she offered at every opportunity. The world is a far better place for her having lived and she will be missed more than she would ever dream. Elaine was preceded in death by her much-beloved husband, William Harold "Smitty" Smith and her sister, Wanda Mackey.
