Elaine S. Hiatt passed away in her sleep on the morning of January 9, 2024, at her residence in Bullhead City, AZ.
Elaine was born in Bakersfield and graduated Bakersfield High School in 1950. Elaine moved to Morro Bay with her late former husband, Cliff Hiatt, to raise their family before returning to Bakersfield after retiring from First American Title Insurance.
Even though Elaine was retired and living in Bakersfield, she maintained the friendships she’d developed during her years in Morro Bay through frequent trips back to the coast. Due to ill health, Elaine eventually wound up in an assisted living facility in Arizona, so her family could make sure she received the care needed.
Elaine had two children, Blake and Paige. Unfortunately, Elaine lost her daughter a few years ago. Elaine is survived by her son, Blake, six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Elaine was a long-time member of the Methodist Church, an association she treasured greatly.
