Elaine H. Patton, of 63 Oriole Avenue, Keene, died Saturday, December 4, 2010 at Cheshire Medical Center. She was sixty-nine years old.

She graduated from Webster High School, and continued her studies in Music Education at Syracuse University, where she received a Bachelor of Music. She received her Master of Music: Music Education from Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, New York.
She was married to Bruce M. Koloseike for eleven years and has a daughter from that marriage, Katherine A. Koloseike of Dummerston, Vermont. In 1974, Elaine moved to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and later married Wayne Harris. Then in 1985, she married David L. Patton to whom she remained married until they were parted by his death in 2009.
