Sincerest Condolences to the Family of Vera Elgin
Vera Elgin began her volunteer journey in January, 1996 with the beginning of the search for a Library for the Society, continued through the negotiations, paperwork and move and then the 15 years of maintaining the building once we owned it. Vera had been an outstanding property manager, and it all started with a mistake. The volunteer in charge of finding a property manager asked for suggestions, and Jean White gave him a member name. This volunteer took our membership directory and went down the page and stopped, not at the suggested person, but the next entry – which was Vera Elgin. What a wonderful mistake!
All of you who are homeowners are aware of the care a building takes. From finding
volunteers for Cleaning Teams to arranging for roof, HVAC and plumbing inspections
and fixing the problems, from getting the carpet cleaned, the insurance renewed, the fire
marshals’ inspections scheduled, Vera was on top of it without anyone knowing that the
job had been done. She also found the time to serve six years on the WVGS Board and
to chair the nominating committee twice.
West Valley Genealogical Society has benefitted from the time and talents of Vera
IMPRESSIVELY over more than 15 years. Bless her and her family. May she rest
peacefully.
