Elaine Yee 

Long-time volunteer usher, staff usher,  and Dragon Boat wizard Elaine Yee died on Sunday, March 9, 2025.   Evelyn Martinez, who ushered  with Elaine at the Opera House and elsewhere, offered this tribute.

For Elaine

you were indestructible

endlessly capable of bouncing back

had me convinced, sort of

but you died

mid heart surgery

78

a vulnerable age

still,

Does Not Compute

dear Elaine

wherever the afterlife takes you

may it be

a place without racists

where everyone heeds your word

may you have an ace Dragon Boat team to lead

and the best Personal Trainer death can buy

may you finally be

Eternally Invincible
