Superior, WI - Elaine F. Moyle, age 98, longtime Ishpeming area resident, passed away on Friday, November 18, 2022, at the Superior Rehabilitation Center/Nursing Home in Superior, WI. Her stubbornness and "better-than-a-sharp-stick-in-the-eye" attitude got her kicked out of hospice twice in the last two years, but it was finally time to exchange her weary body for an everlasting one.

Elaine was born July 19, 1924, in Ishpeming Township (North Lake Location) to the late Frank and Rosalie (Berry) St. Onge. She grew up in the house in which she later raised her own family.

For many years, Elaine enjoyed playing and calling Bingo for various organizations and was a former member of the Ishpeming VFW Auxiliary, Greater Ishpeming Commission on Aging, the former St. Pius X Catholic Church (where she was president of the Altar Guild), St. Joseph Catholic Church, Riverside Club, Chub Club, Curves, WBA, various card clubs, and a bell choir that she joined at the age of 95.

Elaine had a special love for children which led her and Bob to become foster parents, taking in eight children over fourteen years and adopting two.  She had the gift of hospitality and was never too busy to put on a pot of coffee and assemble a quick "lunch" for anyone who dropped by. She loved making people laugh, creating plastic canvas crafts, baking delicious desserts, doing jigsaw puzzles, picking berries, knitting dishcloths to give away, being in the sunshine, and dancing. She played cards without mercy and made the best customized pasties.

Elaine is survived by four daughters – Jackie (Bruce) Pennala, Margaret Borlace, Robyn (Ken) Kinnunen, and Joleyn (Phil) McCotter; brother Clifford St. Onge; 15 grandchildren; 20 great grandchildren; and 5 great great grandchildren; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Elaine was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 60 years Robert "Pete" Moyle; son Joseph Moyle; brother Earl St. Onge; sisters – Clara Ingram, Dorothy St. Onge, Ruth Maki, Mae Kamin, and Rose Marie Karbum; 2 grandsons – David and Gary Borlace; 2 great grandchildren – Chelsea Coron and Joey Moyle; and son-in-law Ernie Borlace.

A luncheon will be held at 2:00 pm on Sunday July 2, 2023 at the Bible Baptist Church followed by a Celebration of Life at 2:30 pm.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Superior Rehab who loved and laughed with "Cookie" over the last 6 years (especially Angala), as well as Essentia Hospice who guided us through her last days (especially Jeanie).
