Elaine's parents divorced when she was quite young and she was raised by her paternal grandparents Alva A.
Eveland 1886-1954
and Clara Eveland 1886-1954
. Her great grandparents are available from the grandparents sites at least on her father's side.
She married Roy Leggitt on her eighteenth birthday before she completed high school. Roy was stationed at the local Waverly Air Force Station at the time. She spent the next eighteen years traveling around the world with Roy as he
pursued his Air Force career. As was the custom for Air Force wives of that generation, Elaine did not pursue a profession of her own. She was a full time mother and performed various volunteer and club work while Roy was in the Air Force.
For several years after Roy retired Elaine worked at a local bath accessories store and later at the Miramar Naval Exchange in San Diego.
Elaine and Roy separated in September 1981 with a final dissolution of the marriage in February, 1983. She was killed instantly when a drunk teenage driver ran a stop sign and drove in front of her at the intersection of Las Palmas Avenue and Bear Valley Parkway in Escondido, California. Because of the proximity of the accident to the Palomar Hospital, her eyes and several organs were salvaged for transplant.
Her Mother was Ethalyn Rose Montross Eveland 1917-1989
