2025
Elaine Fay (Fisher) Hufford was born March 29, 1942, to James and Helen (Rapp) Fisher in
Dettmer Hospital, Troy, Ohio. She peacefully entered her eternal rest on February 18, 2025,
surrounded by her companion and their children at their home in Flora, Indiana, making her sojourn
on earth 82 years, 10 months, and 20 days.
Elaine met Larry in the fall of 1957 at Salem’s communion. She and Larry were married on
June 19, 1960, at her home on Farrington Road, Covington, Ohio. They made their home near
Goshen, Indiana. In October, feeling the call of the Spirit, they were baptized and committed
themselves to a lifetime of serving their Lord and Savior. In October, 1973, they moved to Mexico,
Indiana, and in 2012 they relocated to Flora, Indiana, where they fellowshipped with Providence
district. Elaine was a devoted companion and willing helpmeet, mother,grandmother, and great-
grandmother, loving and loved by all whom she met. She leaves us with a lasting legacy, and a
loving example of a godly woman. Her love and presence will by greatly missed by her husband
Larry; their eight children, Malinda (Kurt) Filbrun, Gary (Gayla), Leon (Lisa), James (Jalene), Caroline
(Glen) Cook, John (Jenny), Judy (Samuel) Miller, and Philip (Malinda); 39 grandchildren; 42 great-
grandchildren; a sister, Linda (Dale) Bowman; brothers-in-law, Dan (Norma) Hufford and Lynn
(Joellen) Hufford; and a sister-in-law, Shirley Bowman.
She was preceded in death by her mother Helen in 1968, her father James, stepmother
Violet Angle Woodbridge, her parents-in-law Jesse and Betty Hufford, her sister Doris and husband
Dennis Filbrun, and brother-in-law Harold Bowman.
We commit her spirit back to God who gave it, and her body back to the earth to await the
glorious call of the Saviour, “Come up higher thou blest in the Lord Jesus.”
