She played the piano, sang, and was a member of the Viroqua Blackhawk Marching Band during her high school years where she played the clarinet. After graduation in 1953, she literally came straight off a dairy farm and moved to the big city of Madison with three of her girlfriends and began working for the University of Wisconsin Hospital as a medical transcriber. When they were not working, they chummed around with a group of Airmen from Truax Field where Elaine became reacquainted with Richard "Dick" Coy, who had graduated the previous year and was stationed there as a member of the Air Force. After many months of courtship, they fell in love and were married November 13, 1954 at Immanuel Lutheran Church.

TAYLOR, Earl
1925 - 2015
Earl passed away on Saturday, February 7, 2015. He was pleased to reach his goal of 90 years and reflected back on a good life with many a smile and an occasional tear in the last month. He was predeceased by his parents Everett and Freida; wife of 55 years Gwendoline "Gwen"; son Albert Kenneth "Ken"; granddaughter Megan; son-in-law Bryan; and siblings Florence, Albert, and Kenneth. Dad lost his friend, Corporal Alphonse Nobel on the battlefield in France. He never forgot him. Earl will be remembered by his children Robert (Sue), Elizabeth "Beth", Virginia "Ginny" (Gord), Allan, and Florence "Flo" (Dennis); grandchildren Tina (Danny), Shannon, Tammy, Robert (Toni), Crystal, Sarah (Blake), Gord, Eric (Farah), Amanda (Jason), Lisa, and Simon (Nicole); daughters-in-law Sheila and Mona; numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Dad loved Saskatchewan and was honoured to be a part of its history. He served in the Canadian Army overseas; farmed in a cooperative near Smokey Burn; and worked for the Department of Agriculture Conservation and Development Branch for 36 years. Dad often said he had the best job in the world. He got to travel throughout the province creating community pastures, drilling dugouts and visiting with people. Upon retirement, Dad and Mom took time to stay connected with lifelong friends and family throughout Canada and the U.S., but he was always glad to return home to his family, the garden, and his early morning swims at the Lawson Aquatic Centre. He also worked with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires in retirement. Dad was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 59 years. In 2014, he was awarded with the Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour; a recognition from the Government of France. In his later years at the "Vets" unit in Wascana Rehab, Earl could be found in the solarium reading, singing or visiting. Our family wishes to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff of Unit 3-6. Each of you helped to make Wascana his home. Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary for their dedication to all the veterans.
