She was an excellent basketball and softball player. Her fast pitch was awed by the Indian Country. The Fawns and Renegadettes were two teams that had very exceptional players that were sometimes not invited back. Elaina had many friends from her trips to tournaments.
Her passion of the mountains came from her loving family (Moses), which later included routine trips for her. She loved all her aunts, uncles and cousins along with her friends she kept so dear.
