Elaine was born on March 13, 1943 in Boston to Samuel and Anna (O'Shea) Cooke. In June 1961, Elaine married her soulmate, John Byrnes. Together, they raised a family and relocated to Lake Havasu in 1976. Elaine volunteered at her children's elementary schools, Starline and Oro Grande and eventually built a career at the Lake Havasu Board of Realtors. Upon retirement, she volunteered at the Lake Havasu City Visitor Center. In 2020, she moved to Tucson to be closer to family. Elaine was a loving wife, and a dear mother to her five children. She was also a proud "Grammy/Gigi" to 10 grandchildren and six great- grandchildren. Elaine was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and brothers Patrick Sullivan and Wayne Sullivan.

Elaine's warmth, wit and compassion will be sorely missed. Her selflessness and ability to put her family first will never be forgotten.
