CHEOP, Elayne (nee Johnson) - With profound sadness, we announce the sudden death on November 25, 2018, of our beautiful, witty, and classy wife, mom, gammy, and dear friend at the young age of 79. With a lifetime of memories to cherish, Elayne leaves behind her loving husband Frank; daughter Sonni (Mike); son Frank (Joan); grandkids Mikhail, Elle and Zak and several nieces and nephews whom she loved. Elayne was predeceased by her parents, three sisters and one brother whom she missed profoundly. Elayne enjoyed champagne, high heel shoes, short skirts, fresh cut flowers, and reading a good book in a hot bubble bath. You only need to look at the photos wallpapering her fridge to know that she loved her family and friends more than anything. The heart of our family is not gone because Elayne will always be our guiding force as we move forward together. We love you. A celebration of her life will be held when the tulips bloom in spring.
