Elaine was born on May 21, 1927 to Harold and Helen White in Salt Lake City, Utah. She grew up in Nampa, Idaho; Salida, Colorado; and Colorado Springs, Colorado. She graduated from Colorado Springs High School and attended Colorado College, where her father was head football coach and she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority. She spent her life dedicated to the sorority and its charitable services, and the Elaine Senter ""Do Good"" Award was created in her honor. She was married for sixty-six years to Val Senter, with whom she had four children, ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Elaine was an avid - dare we say radical - fan of the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Avalanche (through all their ups and downs). She was adored by her husband's fellow senior hockey players in the US, Canada and Europe, and was a conservative republican, a precinct chairwoman and election judge. Small, fierce, a dancer, music lover, passionate reader and education advocate, she was a dynamic, classy lady who was devoted to her family. Memorial donations may be made in Elaine's honor to Anchor Center for Blind Children 2550 Roslyn Street, Denver, CO 80238 or www.Anchorcenter.org.
