Elaine was born on July 7 1925 to William and Mary Harding, the 5th of 6 children, and their only daughter. She loved outdoor activities and sports, particularly enjoying field hockey and softball during her years in high school. She was married to LeRoy Weber on September 17, 1949 in Langhorne Pennsylvania, and they lived in Warminster Pennsylvania, before moving to Willingboro New Jersey until retirement when they relocated to Ocala Florida.

At the age of 79 Elaine made the decision to come out as a lesbian to her family and friends, becoming actively involved with the members of the LGBT community in Tampa Florida. She was interviewed extensively for the DVD documentary "Out Late", and spoke out boldly about her convictions and beliefs.

Elaine is survived by two sons (Walter and Kevin), 3 grandchildren (Adrienne, Jessica, and Rachael), 5 great-grandchildren (Jaydon, Eleni, Evey, Giovanni, and Thomas), numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins - and a wide variety of friends with whom she shared her time, her joy, her friendship, and her life.

It is in those memories and our hearts that she will live on.
