SPRINGVILLE - Elaine Affleck Zitting Selander, 81, born January 19, 1926 in Salt Lake
City, Utah, to Charles Frederick Zitting and Minnie Affleck Zitting, died on
April 14, 2007 at her residence in Springville, Utah. She and her husband,
Jack R. Selander, who died September 12, 2002, had been receiving loving,
compassionate care since 1999 in the home of her daughter and son-in-law,
Claudia and Daniel Niu of Springville, Utah.

Elaine and Jack had been residents of North Ogden, Utah from 1953-1999. She
graduated from West High School, SLC, Utah in 1943 and attended the
University of Utah and Weber State College. She was raised by her mother and
her Stepfather, George A. Rossiter, whom she looked up to, loved, and
adored. She married Jack R. Selander on December 11, 1945. Their marriage
was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple on Oct 30, 1956.

She was a devoted wife, mother and example to her husband and family. She was a
charitable, compassionate, faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day-Saints who was never too busy to help, or to serve others, her
Church, or her community.

Over the years, Elaine served her community and church in scouting and
Primary callings, as well as 4H. She served many years in the special needs
Primary in Ogden City, and absolutely loved children. She was also very
proud to serve her community as an election judge for several years. Her membership and participation in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers gave her great joy. Her family will remember and benefit from her great dedication to genealogy and temple work. She and her husband, Jack served at the Ogden Temple Visitor's Center, and later in the Temple Baptistery.

As her children, we will remember our mother for the importance she placed
on family and serving others. She truly devoted her entire adult life to
serving her family members and making others happy. This gave her great
joy. She loved camping, family trips, and being with her grandchildren.
She and our father traveled many miles to be in attendance at their
grandchildren's baby blessings, baptisms and special ordinances. We will be
forever grateful for her example of using her time here on earth for things
that are ever-lasting.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Frederick A Zitting
and William A Zitting, her husband, Jack R. Selander, by her daughter,
Janice Selander McEntire, Granddaughter, Moriah Leilani Niu, and Step-Grandson,
