Elaine Poulin Kokernak was born March 15, 1919, lived a full life and passed away peacefully at the age of 95 on March 24, 2014 under Hospice Care after a brief hospitalization for pneumonia.

She is survived by her son Bruce; two grandchildren, Scott and Kim; a great granddaughter, Alexandra; a sister Lillian and several nieces and nephews. She lived her entire life as a good Catholic woman, went to Mass every Sunday for as long as she was able and when she found she was no longer able to attend Mass because of her frailty, still managed to watch the Mass on T.V. and made arrangements to receive Communion in her home. She will be missed.
