She was born in Regal,

Manz on June 29, 1923.

After graduating from

high school, she went to

business school in Min-

neapolis. While working

in Minneapolis she met

and later married Lyle

Newhouse on July 19,

1949. They moved to

Sherwood, ND where they

farmed together. After

Lyle passed away in 1993,

Elaine continued to live

on the farm until 2015

when she moved to San-

dy, UT to be near her old-

est son, Tom.

Family and her faith

were deeply important to

Elaine. She loved nature

and beautiful things, and

she especially enjoyed

bird watching, her

flowers, music, baking,

and being creative. Out of

her love for God and for

children, she held Bible

Club for elementary chil-

dren in Sherwood and

then Mohall for 30 years.

She was happy to host her

growing family every

summer when many last-

ing and meaningful

memories were created.

Elaine was preceded in

death by: her husband,

Lyle; parents; and sisters,

Bernice, Phyllis and Dar-

lene.

She is survived by:

sons Thomas (Barb) of

Sandy, UT; Marlin (Diana)

of Snohomish, WA; Willi-

am (Glenda) of Rapid

City, SD; and daughter

Joanne (Mark) Ericson of

Prior Lake, MN; 12

grandchildren; and 8

great-grandchildren.

Her family is grateful

for the godly heritage she

left and the many years of

prayer coverage she pro-

vided.

The family gathered to

celebrate her life on April

21 in Sandy, Utah.

service will be held at the
