Elaine M. Ball, 86, of Kent, OH, entered eternal life on May 22, lovingly surrounded by her family.
She was born January 13, 1928 in Bourbon, IN to Joseph Andrew and Anna J. (Rockhill) Metheny. She married Richard E. Ball (deceased) on June 20, 1948 in Plymouth IN. In 1959, they moved to Bedford, IN and raised their family. When Richard retired in 1987, they returned to Plymouth, IN until 2004.

While in Bedford, Elaine was involved in Tri Kappa social and philanthropic sorority, volunteered time to mentally ill patients at the State Hospital in Madison, IN and she was an active member of St. John's Episcopal Church. Elaine was musically gifted, enjoyed camping, playing bridge and entertaining. She was devoted to her family and friends.
