In 1964 they moved to Texas and lived in several different cities. Elaine was a gifted designer and enjoyed sewing, making pottery and working in the garden. She was a dedicated Mom, and later in life enjoyed spending time with family and friends and reading.

Elaine Nieman was a dedicated Christian who lived up to the Scripture from John 3:30 that reads, “He must become greater and I must become less.” She invested her life into serving her Lord Jesus, her husband and her 9 children. Jesus told his disciples that the key to greatness is to find a way to serve many (Mark 10:44-45). She practiced that. Her only agenda in life was to please God and make sure that her family was taken care of. She had the heart of a servant and she dedicated each day to serving others. Words can’t explain how dearly she will be missed.
