  • Elaine Ericksen Green, 94, our loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully due to natural causes after living a valiant and productive life, on July 5, 2020. She was born on August 23, 1925, in Beaver Dam, Utah, to Joseph Alma and Mary LaVona Johnson Ericksen, one of 9 children. She attended Bear River and Moapa Valley High Schools and Utah State Agricultural College where she met her eternal companion, Harmon Green, at the Institute of Religion. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on November 22, 1946 and raised 5 children in Salt Lake on the Avenues. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as ward organist for many years and a teacher and pianist in Jr Sunday School, Primary and Relief Society, a counselor in the MIA, Relief Society President at the LDS Hospital Branch, Stake Missionary with Harmon, and a volunteer at the LDS Hospital and Church Museum. She loved the scriptures and lived a life of service. She taught piano lessons, was an excellent seamstress and cook, and made quilts for all her children and grandchildren. She loved her family and will be greatly missed. Preceded in death by her husband, Harmon, daughter, Marie Halpin, grandson, Colby Hatch, granddaughter, Rachel Green, son-in-law, Roger Brown. Survived by her brothers Bryce Ericksen and Tom Steffen, many nieces and nephews, and children, Sue Brown, Samuel Green, Becky (Stephen) Hatch, Michael (Cyndi) Green, Robert Halpin and 32 grandchildren and 48 great grandchildren. Due to the pandemic only graveside services will be held at the Salt Lake City Cemetery (west side, south of 11th Ave) at 10:00 am, masks requested with social distancing. A special thanks to Intermountain Hospice for their loving care and to her son Sam for being her primary care giver in her home for so many years…and other family members and friends who took time to call and visit her.


    Guestbook/Condolences

    Aunt Elaine was such a wonderful, caring, and beautiful spirit who was welcoming and warm. She always made me feel special when i visited her and her calm and loving presence is something I will truly miss. My thoughts and prayers are with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and Uncle Bryce.

    I am certain she is having beautiful reunions with those loved ones who have passed before, especially Uncle Harmon.

    She truly was a light on this earth.

    All my love, Allyson

    We are saddened by the passing of Elaine and want to express our deepest sympathy. The Green family, especially Elaine, were the most wonderful neighbors you could ask for ever since our family moved to Salt Lake City in 1955. My Mom and Dad could not have found better neighbor-friends anywhere. May God bless and comfort you.
