Barbara Elaine Pack
May 1, 1940 – June 2, 2025

Barbara “Elaine” Pack, 85, of Danville, Virginia, passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus in the early hours of June 2, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on May 1, 1940, Elaine lived a life full of warmth, joy, and grace. She was a devoted housewife, worked at Boeing, and later retired from Harris Corporation. She also served as a Boy Scout Den Mother and Eau Gallie Little League softball coach. Elaine had a passion for thrifting, a deep love for all things pink, football, and never turned down a good cup of coffee.

Elaine will be remembered for her infectious laughter, her joyful spirit, and her unwavering kindness. She always found the good in others and never spoke a harsh word. Her love for Jesus was evident in the way she lived—sharing her faith not just in words, but through her actions, compassion, and the way she treated everyone around her. She embraced her faith at Bethany Church with joy, spreading kindness to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Elaine, lovingly known to her family as Mama Ruda, Baba, and Grandma, cherished her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her love and devotion to her family and friends were unconditional, filling their lives with precious memories that will be remembered always. She especially treasured the adventures she shared with her “Ya-Ya’s”, filling hearts and creating memories that will never fade.

Elaine is survived by her beloved children: Lori Frame, Greg (Vickie) Pack, and Jamie (Jamie) Elkins; her cherished grandchildren: Justin, Kirsten, Josh, Victoria, Jarrett, Jason, and Ainsley; great-grandchildren Jordan, Alessa, Nolan and Gavin; her brother, Kenneth; and many other loving family members who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her husband Ronnie; her parents Elbert and Hazel Price; her brother Gary Price; and her sister Evelyn Markowski.

A celebration of Elaine’s life will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at Bethany Church, 1100 Dorchester Avenue, Melbourne, Florida 32904. A viewing will begin at 10:00 am, followed by the funeral service at 11:00 am. A reception will immediately follow at the church. The burial will take place at 2:30pm at Florida Memorial Gardens. All are welcome to attend.

In honor of Elaine’s love for the color, guests are encouraged to wear PINK. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CITA Rescue Misson/Helen’s House, or Village Thrift, causes close to her heart.
Barbara Elaine Pack will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the joy she brought into the world and the love she gave so freely. And she is now finally with “her Ronnie”…

I love and miss you Mama. Thank you for being my guiding light, my pillar of strength and my selfless mama. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for your unwavering love and dedication. You helped me navigate life’s challenges, and your unconditional love inspired me to be a better version of myself. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed, and I’m forever grateful for the countless ways you’ve shaped me into the person I am today. Thank you for being a loving grandmother to Justin Frame, Kirsten and Ainsley, Victoria, Jarrett, and Jason, Joshua and your niece Shannon as well as your great grandson Gavin. and for spreading love and kindness to everyone around you, including the neighborhood kids who were lucky enough to have you in their lives. Your heart is pure, and your generosity is a blessing to all who know you. I’m in awe of your resilience and determination, working tirelessly behind the scenes to provide for us, even when it meant sacrificing your own needs. Your love is a beacon of hope, and I’m so grateful to have you as my mama. You and daddy have been an incredible example of what it means to be great parents, and I pray that I can make you proud by passing on the lessons you’ve taught me to my own children. God has truly blessed me with a mama like you, and I pray every day for your strength and courage as you face the challenges of dementia. You are a shining star, and your beautiful smile continues to light the way for our family. As long as I’m here, I promise to stand by your side, just as you’ve always stood by mine. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 So truly blessed by God to have you as my mama.

Jamie and family, I am sorry for the loss of your sweet Mom. She always had a smile for everyone. I remember sitting with her on the bleachers at Crane Field. Her laugh was one of the things I remember about her. I hope the memories you hold in your heart make your grief easier to bear.
