It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Elaine on Feb. 28, 2010, in Penticton, B.C.
Elaine spent her childhood years in Prince Edward Island until she set out for Vancouver in 1954. There she worked for Touche Ross & Co. accounting firm. A passionate, life-long Liberal she worked tirelessly in support of the party. During the Trudeau years Elaine worked in Ottawa for Senator Ray Perrault. Upon her return to Vancouver she established her own public relations firm and was heavily involved in EXPO 86. Her forte was in developing and implementing programs in all aspects of public relations.
Elaine worked and supported many charitable organizations and had a special fondness for children's charities.
In 1990 she married Dale Rumball and settled in Penticton. There she continued her PR work, was active in real estate and was a member of a local Rotary Club.
