Elaine was at peace with daughters and family by her side as she went home to be with God and her eternal family. She was born to Bryan Willis and Sara Francis Cotten in Crawford, Colorado, on April 22, 1917. She was their first child and sister to Chuck Cotten and Norma Berry. The family moved to the small farming community of Compton, California, when she was five. After completing high school in Compton, she met and married Charles W. Lewis of Redondo Beach, California. They had two daughters, Charlaine and Colleen. In 1955, Elaine married her soul mate, Newt Sturtridge. The moment she met Newt she said, “He sure looks like Roy Rogers!” She bought him a cowboy hat and from then on he was her Roy! Elaine enjoyed many years of retirement from Northrop Grumman. She is survived by her two daughters, five grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren. Prepared by Charlaine.
