Elaine Joy Whitaker

LANDER -- A memorial service for Elaine Joy Whitaker, 47, was held March 28, 2000, at Word of Faith Family Church in Lander.

She died March 26, 2000, at her home after a four-year battle with cancer.

She was born Jan. 26, 1953, in Newark, Ohio, to Fred and Audrey Piehl.

She spent most of her youth and attended high school in Eau Claire, Wis., and moved to the Fremont County area in 1979.

She ran an in-home day care for many years and recently remarked that she still had kids calling and checking on her to see how she was doing.

She formed a bond with each one of those children.

She worked as a pharmacy tech at Riverton Memorial Hospital for five years, then moved to Lander and worked as a medical assistant for Nancy Brewster at the Lander Medical Clinic.

In her spare time, she loved to write songs and play the piano.

She was very active in her church and loved spending time with her family and friends.

Survivors include her parents; a son, Jason Whitaker and his wife of Billings, Mont; a daughter Bethany Whitaker of Lander, her sister Lynette Ackerman of Eau Claire, Wis; stepbrother James Piehl of Lakeland, Fla; a close family friend, John Murphy of California; and one expected grandchild.

She was preceded in death by two sisters and her maternal and paternal grandparents.

Memorials may be made to World of Faith Family Church in Lander.

     Note: Regarding the deaths and burials of Lemuel and Elizabeth Warren (per Joy Warren):

They died during a cholera epidemic. Elizabeth died first, and her body was taken to Lincoln to be buried in the family plot, which we have seen. When the men who took her in came home Lemuel was dead so they took him to Lincoln to be buried with his wife. There was just one little problem. Elizabeth was Catholic and Lemuel wasn't. When his family, I suppose brothers and sisters, found out they said, "Ain't no Warren going to be buried in no Catholic cemetery," and went to get him and buried him in Pleasant Valley Cemetery in New Holland.
