Elaine E. McMullin

Elaine Elvira McMullin, age 104, daughter of William and Elvira Rebecca (Hansen) Brandt, was born on August 19, 1916 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She passed away peacefully on December 10, 2020 in Papillion, Nebraska. Elaine is preceded in death by her husband, James L. McMullin; parents, William and Elvira Brandt; and brothers, Richard and Robert Brandt. She is survived and will be missed by her loving daughter, Elaine (Richard) DeWell. Elaine received a teaching degree from UNO in 1951 and taught for 42 years before retiring in 1978. She enjoyed playing cards, pinochle, and was a master at bridge. On family cruises she would enter bridge tournaments and always walk away a winner. She was also known for her needle crafts. She would knit, crochet, and sew any and everything. This resulted in her designing and creating most of her own wardrobe. But most of all she loved dancing: square, round, and ballroom. Her and James are reunited in the ballroom in the sky. Private family services with burial at Forest Lawn Cemetery.

It was an honor to clean Elaine's apartment at Walnut Grove, though I was only there about four months (July 2017-October 2017). A lovely heart and a lovely lady. Peace to her daughter and others.
