Elaine Groipen
Elaine, born March 16th,1926., daughter to Alick and Ethel Rosenblatt, grew up in Everett, Massachusetts with her sister Inez Burgin. Elaine was married to her beloved husband, Edward Groipen for 67 years and resided in Newton, MA.
Elaine was hard-working, had endless amounts of energy and was always ready to help anyone in need. She loved to work. She spent 40 years as a market researcher then immediately following retirement, she stepped right into a new role volunteering at the Day Surgical Center at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Here, she spent over 25 years volunteering well into her 90’s.
She was a devoted mother, wife, nana, and GG. Elaine was happiest when she was surrounded by her grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Elaine was loving, generous and always ready to take her loved ones on an adventure. You could always count on Elaine for a good laugh with her quiet sarcastic sense of humor which was always full of surprises.
The family would like to thank the staff at the North Hill Retirement for their attention and care for the past 8 years. Her presence left a lasting and memorable impact on everyone she met, both at work, home and with friends.
