Elaine Boynton, 80, passed away peacefully in her home on April 19, 2023. Elaine was born in Rockingham, VT to the late Burdette Pease and Elizabeth (Jones) Pease on November 9, 1942.

Elaine attended Charlestown High School, class of 1960, and worked for Cray Oil Company in North Walpole and M&W Soils Engineering in Charlestown as an administrative assistant where she was always a friendly and helpful co-worker who brought a lively and fun spirit to every room she was in. She was a champion full-time Mom and Meme raising her two children and three grandchildren, sharing her energy, fun spirit and endless love. She was always cheering for the kids and their friends and frequently volunteered for school events or committees. The arrival of her first great grandson in 2021 brought her endless moments of joy in her final days.

Elaine was a long-time member of the Charlestown Women's Club and active with the Charlestown Area Christmas Fund. Christmas was her favorite time of year when the Boynton house was known for its beautiful Christmas decorations, including a Christmas tree in every room of the house for the Women's Club Christmas House Tours fundraiser. She was also proud of her involvement with the fundraising campaign to beautify Main Street with the lovely lamp posts that still adorn the Town today with flowers in the summer and wreaths in the winter.

She was predeceased by both her parents and an infant sister.
