Born on January 21, 1936 in Milledgeville, Georgia to Inez and Talmadge Langdon, she spent most of her childhood on farms throughout central Georgia. At thirteen, she was playing piano and organ for her church and at statewide revivals. By high school, teaching piano lessons helped with savings for future college expenses. Her love of music and the arts continued throughout her life and was shared with her children.

Elaine graduated from Georgia State College for Women and the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA. Her career as an anesthesiologist spanned 4 decades, along with raising 4 kids and balancing the rigors of being a woman doctor in a medical profession dominated by men.

She had amazing creativity and style. From thematic birthdays and elegant dinner parties to extravagant Easter baskets... and even KHU JLIW ZUDSSLQJ ÀDLU VKH made it all special. She was an epicurean of staggering proportions and enjoyed libations, gourmet cooking, and the “table” as a way to connect and build family.

Rest in peace, Mom
