ELAINE ADKINS , (nee Rakes), age 88. Beloved wife of the late Jim, the great love of her life; loving and devoted mom of Michael Smith (deceased) (Suzan), Randall Smith, and Brenda Lukic; cherished grandma of Melanie (Karl), Angela (Bryant), Matthew (Lauren), and Alex (Emily); affectionate great-grandma of Karmela, Gavin, Luna, Olivia, and Molly; dear older sister of Lorene Guilliams (James) and younger of ten deceased siblings; treasured friend of Ruby Joyce, Theresa Goins, and many more. Elaine is remembered for her fun-loving, playful, and feisty spirit – truly salt of the earth with a delightfully ornery sense of humor that was a gift to all. Her memory flourishes on, imprinted forever on the lives and traditions of her family and friends. She will be deeply, deeply missed and never forgotten. Family suggests contributions to Southwest General Hospice Service . Friends may call at LATEK & RYBICKI, A GOLDEN RULE FUNERAL HOME, 7906 BROADVIEW RD.
