Elaine married Arthur Eugene “Gene” Simmons on August 20, 1966. They celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary this past August. They enjoyed a wonderful life with their two sons, David and Mark. Elaine’s grandchildren and great grandchild were the highlight of her life. She loved them so much. Elaine worked for her husband in his plumbing business for many years, and then later worked at the Southwest Oklahoma Federal Credit Union until retirement. At the credit union she began working there as the switchboard operator and worked her way up to be the branch manager opening three branch locations in the process. Elaine always decorated for Christmas with the most wonderful display of Christ honoring decorations. Elaine was a very talented person. She sang in the choir, played the piano and organ, and enjoyed making all kinds of crafts. She loved shopping with her sisters. Elaine is survived by her husband of the home and two sons, David and Melanie Simmons of Elgin, and Mark and Amanda Simmons of League City, Texas, four wonderful grandchildren, Jordan and Zach Bethel, Elgin, Oklahoma, Adam and Amanda Simmons, Dover, Ohio, Dayton Simmons and Hudson Simmons, League City, Texas, and one great grandchild, Davie Jo Bethel, Elgin.
