Elaine married Lawrence Karsky on May 29, 1958 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in New Hradec. They were blessed with three children, Sheryl, Julie and Mark. Over the next 20 years, Lawrence’s job as a school administrator took the family to a number of cities throughout North Dakota and Wisconsin before they returned to Dickinson in 1979. Elaine helped Lawrence with the Service Master Agency as well as operating her own daycare. She was currently employed with Dickinson Comfort Inn where she has worked for over 20 years. Elaine enjoyed traveling to various parts of the country with her twin sister, including bus tours and an Alaskan cruise. She took pride in her yard and garden. Elaine was an avid dancer and she insisted that her partner be able to keep up with her. She had a very giving heart, willing to help others where ever she could. She enjoyed visiting and hosting family and friends at her home. Elaine deeply cared about children and she was very proud to take an active part in her grandchildren’s lives. She will be remembered for her contagious smile and the selfless attitude that she displayed to all that knew her. Elaine was a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
