Elaine B. Jaworowski, 73, died peacefully surrounded by family on June 3, 2020 at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, OH after a short illness. She had recently moved to Ohio from Windsor, Connecticut to be closer to her grandchildren.
Elaine was born August 10, 1946 to the late Louis and Gladys Paquin. She attended Glastonbury High School and graduated from Lassell College. She worked as an administrative assistant in the field of management consulting for many years and retired in 2017.
She was preceded in death by her husband Richard Jaworowski and is survived by her children Jennifer (Collin) Castore and Sean (Stephanie) Healey, grandchildren Paige and Judah, and sisters Carol (Bill) Rice and Nancy (Michael) Dulz.
She will be missed greatly by her sisters-in-law, stepchildren and and their children, nieces and nephews as well as a vast network of friends.
Elaine was a dog lover. Her Cairn Terrier Ruby was her constant companion. She was a competitive bridge player and traveled the country playing in tournaments with her husband Dick. She enjoyed traveling, reading, cooking and watching old movies. In recent years, she became very active in the recovery community. The Windsor Recovery Club and the people she met there held a very special place in her heart. Her laugh was infectious and while she wasn’t afraid to tell you exactly what she thought, she was also kind beyond measure.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Cairn Rescue USA.
A virtual celebration of life has been scheduled for Saturday August 8, 2020 at 4:00 pm EDT via Virtual Memorial Gatherings

Elaine was such a good friend. I wish we had more years to be friends. I miss our daily chats. She would call me and tell me about a good book she was reading or about a funny movie she just watched. She had a great sense of humor. When things went wrong she would always look at the bright side and say “if this is the worse that happens I’m in pretty good shape.” She looked at the glass as half full not half empty. I admired her strength. She was a strong woman who knew how to stand up for herself. She inspired me to do the same. Elaine always reached out to help others. She was always available for rides to meetings or when someone needed a ride to a doctors appointment. She touched so many people. She will be missed by so many. I am grateful to have met her and to have had the opportunity to be friends. My heart goes out to her family.

Elaine was a dear friend and a very special woman loved by all. I worked with Elaine at Capgemini for less than 5 years, but she will always hold a special memory in my heart. Even though we hadn’t worked together in over 10 years, we still kept in touch and in fact talked about 6 weeks ago.
Elaine will be missed.
