STOUGHTON--Elaine Marie Dullum, 81, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 18, 2019, at University Hospital, after a week-long battle with sepsis. She struggled for many years with Crohn's and other health challenges.
Elaine was born in Reedsburg on April 9, 1937, daughter of the late Henry and Louise Roever, and grew up on their farm near North Freedom.

Elaine loved traveling with her husband on motor coach tours in Europe, Canada and the United States, tending flower gardens, taking walks in state parks and drives in the country. She took great pleasure in hosting Christmas Eve gatherings for many years.
