UUCP members and the wider religious community are saddened by the passing of Rev. Elaine Buker, who died June 4, on her 87th birthday. She was a resident of Azalea Trace in Pensacola and was the widow of John Buker. She is survived by her son, Nathan Paul, of Lillian, Alabama; another son, Joshua, preceded her in death last October. Elaine spent her professional life as a religious leader in the Baptist and Methodist churches, and, most recently in the Unitarian Universalist church. UUCP honored her posthumously with designation of an Honorary Lifetime Member, planned earlier and awarded at the church annual meting June 14, in appreciation of her longtime membership and service. A memorial service is planned to be held in future, when pandemic restrictions allow.
