Elaine Roberta Sinclair

Your silliness will be missed

There’s no denying this

Along with your hugs and kisses too

And that giggle of yours, as we reminisce about you

Your smile that shined so much with love

As our mom and grandma, who is now high above

We will miss you so much. You are forever loved.

– Jodi Arrowsmith & April Mitchell

Our beloved mother and grandmother, Elaine Roberta Sinclair, died on Wednesday, August 7^th, 2024, at Hospice of the Comforter in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Elaine passed away with her two daughters, April and Jodi, by her bedside early that morning. She had been battling dementia over the last few years along with other illnesses. She was 83 years old and resided in Apopka, Florida until summer of 2023.  Elaine was the last surviving daughter to Charles Alvia Sinclair and Roberta Hortense Hill Sinclair Thorner. She was a sister to her predeceased siblings, Joyce Slansky, Charlene Barter and Charles Sinclair.  She was born in Calais, Maine on November 18, 1940, and moved to Florida in October 1948.

Elaine was the heart and soul of our family, she loved to keep us laughing and will be dearly missed by her family.  She raised two (2) daughters, April and Jodi, as a single mom in a loving home in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Elaine leaves behind her daughters, April (Ted) Mitchell, Jodi (Jon) Arrowsmith, her five (5) grandchildren; TJ (Jackie) Mitchell, Heather Mitchell, Cassidy (Riley) Conrad, DJ Arrowsmith, Anabelle Arrowsmith and her three (3) great grandchildren; Summer Mitchell, Levi Conrad and Jake Conrad. She was the “Silly Grandma” (aka Silly G), always doing things that were silly to make them laugh, she enjoyed taking the grandkids to the mall or other outings, she loved her family time, and all of our get togethers.

Elaine was known to be a talker, would do or say silly things, could get a little feisty at times, but always had a kind heart and meant the world to her family. Elaine worked as an Independent Insurance Agent for various companies with over 4 decades of experience. Her colleagues knew her as a kind, sweet soul, always wanting to discuss business along with politics.

Memorial Services will be held at Renewal Church, 2355 Appy Lane, Apopka, FL 32712 on Saturday, September 28^th, 2024, at 2 p.m.  In celebration of her journey home to be with our maker, may we all share a laugh, raise a glass and have some snacks in celebration of her immediately following the memorial services. This will be held at her daughter, Jodi and Jon Arrowsmith’s home in Apopka, FL.  If you would like to attend, please contact one of the family members for the address.
