Elaine was an avid reader with books by her favorite authors lining the living room walls. She loved walking and having dinners with her husband and friends in Key West where they spent much of their time. She enjoyed volunteering her time as Treasurer on the Board of the Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library for many years.
When Elaine graduated High School in Indianapolis, she turned down a scholarship to the University of Indiana, electing instead to attend University of Michigan and was named a James Angell Scholar in her first year. Fortuitously, at University of Michigan, she met her future husband, Stuart Caplan. Elaine graduated magna cum laude with a major in French. After graduating, she married and taught French and German in Waukesha County School District next to Milwaukee. In 1967, she moved from her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana to Miami, Florida.
She will always be remembered for her quick wit and sense of humor, her extremely high intelligence, her dignified beauty and grace, and for her beautiful smile.
