Elaine Rose Parks was born March 26, 1919 to Eva and Charles Johnson in Dupont, WA. She passed away Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 in Tacoma. At 92 her positive outlook and keep-moving attitude were an inspiration to us all.
She was a member of the Elks, Eagles, Manhatten Dance Club and NARFF. Her passions were dancing, traveling, and watching the many activities on American Lake, her home of 60 years.
She was retired from McChord Air Force Base after 25 years of service.
Mom was devoted to her family and was particularly proud of the accomplishments of her grandchildren. She is survived by her son, Michael Hoffman (Debbie) of Gig Harbor, her daughter Susan Suhre (ed) of Lakewood, her 3 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, 3 nieces and nephews and her sister-in-law, Margaret Hoffman , all of Tacoma.
The family would like to thank the wonderful dedicated staff at the Weatherly Inn for the loving care given to Mom during the last 2 years.
