Elaine S. Levy passed away on September 22, 2024 at the age of 90.
Elaine lived a long, prosperous, and rewarding life. She met her beloved late husband, Jerome (Jerry) on a blind date upon his return from the Korean War, the man who would be her soulmate for the 66 years. Inseparable in love and marriage, they were inspirational to friends and family. As a couple, they made their children and grandchildren a priority.
A lifelong St. Louisan, Elaine was born July 23, 1934 to Anna and Jack Beckman and was raised with her sister, Shirley. Elaine was a proud graduate of University City High School where she developed and maintained lifetime friendships.
She was primarily a homemaker, but also worked part-time as a secretary for various companies. Elaine had many hobbies and always kept busy, especially playing Mahjongg. She also loved to knit, cook and read. She and Jerry enjoyed many years of wonderful travel with family and friends. Elaine was a beautiful, and caring woman who will be fondly remembered and missed by those who knew and loved her.
Elaine is survived by her children Judy (Bob) Bierman and Marty (Mimi) Levy; grandchildren Ashley (Jim) Kinnett, Matt (Jessica) Bierman, Sara Lynn (Jeremy) Braslow, Jeremy Levy (fiancée Lauren Cohen), great-granddaughter Hailey Bierman, sister-in-law Eleanor Levy; nieces, nephews, and many friends.
