Elaine Melanie Jerome

Dear Mom, I think of you daily. I always think of your resilience and strength. I am proud to be your daughter. I love you. Lee.

Eternal rest grant onto Elaine O Lord and let perpetual light shine on her. May she rest in peace. Claude paternal 1st cousin

I am an old ( both physically and experienced) teacher that had the great pleasure to work with Elaine. She made my professional life that much better with her positive support, humour, fab style choices, kickass shoes, and dam fine testing and recommendations. We lived a block away from her house on Pasqua and would share the occasional ride out of town to the school where I worked. Intuitive and a straight shooter. She made me laugh. I am so very sorry. Know that she was highly respected both professionally and personally.

We miss you Elaine. For the last 21 years we were neighbours and then developed a respectful, caring relationship. Elaine will be remembered in so many ways. She was loyal and generous to her family and friends, always making time for conversations and being a thoughtful “listener “. Elaine was passionate about her professional life, providing excellent counseling for students and clients. Our family will always appreciate her work with one of our family members. Elaine was such fun to be with; gatherings were entertaining and vibrant. Many conversations became heated debates on all issues such as politics, sex, religion and life in general. Nothing was ever off limits. We will always have Elaine in our hearts; missing her vibrant personality, fashion flair and the “character shoes”.

My condolences to the family. So sorry to hear about Elaine . She was my.psychologist when I was a teenager and really helped me and my family when i was going through a rough time. I will truly miss her deeply and sure do miss the talks we use to have a.long time ago.

I am truly grateful to have serviced your hair for the past few years. You made me laugh, gave great advice and you inspired me. We were both members of the C club. Rest in peace my friend. I will miss you.

Such adventures we had together! Hers was a life lived out loud. I am lucky to have had her in mine.

Sending heart felt condolences to the lovely daughters Micheline Leanne and Laryiss and sweet grandchildren Ryan and Colin of Elaine Melanie Maria Rose Jerome of Calgary who passed March 2 2018. Elaine was proud and grateful for her daughters and loved them and her grandchildren to the moon and back. Elaine gave long and meritorious service to Rocky View school system as a system psychologist. Elaine where she was held in high esteem as a for her support and leadership in Special Education. Elaine made a difference to learning standards. Elaine’s work in her private practice was a joy for her and her experience and skills no doubt served her clients well. Those interning psychologists whom she mentored were richly gifted. Elaine’s love the performing arts entertainment scene was a treasure to her. Likewise was the special group of close friends who attended events with her a treasure right to the end. Her vibrant presence will be missed for certain. What will CPO do without Elaine in her seat? Elaine’s larger than life on stage presence and her membership of Confederation Park Musical Theatre Group ( the Perfectly Imperfects) will also sorely miss her contributions and lively performing. No one can sing Mac the Knife like she did. Elaine had a gift of forming community amongst her family friends neighbours and acquaintances. She spoke of her hope that our connection sustains. The Song May have ended but the Melody goes on! Rest In Peace our colourful fun loving vibrant friend. Love and Cheers Carol Hunter

Elaine you always lived life on your terms and it was my honour to know you as a colleague, a woman of strong opinions and convictions, and a friend. You will be missed by many people and will live on in the memories and actions of your family and friends. Fly free my friend
