Obituary

Elaine Karen Cockroft, age 64, of Baltimore, Maryland died unexpectedly on Monday night, December 9, 2024 at her home.  She was born on April 23, 1960, in Raleigh, North Carolina, the daughter of the late Lindon Uhle Cockroft and Joyce Lorraine Watkins Cockroft.

Elaine's passing has left a void in the hearts of her family and friends.  She had a profound impact on the lives of those who had the pleasure of sharing her company.

Elaine is survived by her loving sisters Lisa Cockroft and Linda Cockroft Hughes, and brother-in-law Brad Hughes.  She also leaves behind nephew Michael Hughes, nieces Beth Hughes Eanes and Sarah Hughes Oliver.

Elaine grew up in Somerset County, Maryland graduating from Crisfield High School. She and her sisters enjoyed bicycling the rural country roads around their home in Rehobeth during their teen years.  Elaine's journey continued as she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.  While in college she had the unique opportunity to travel in Germany, including East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall. After graduation she continued to live in Baltimore.  Elaine enjoyed spending time cooking for friends, sewing, playing cards, reading, and solving all kinds of puzzles.  She was a kind, beautiful soul who enjoyed the company of friends.

A family graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, February 1, 2025, at Rehoboth Presbyterian Church in Westover, Maryland with Reverend Kirk Dausman officiating.  Memorial contributions can be made to Rehoboth Presbyterian Church, Westover, Maryland.  Thank you to all of Elaine's friends at Sheppard Pratt Community Services.
