It is with deep sadness and shock that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Elaine Melda Clyke on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, in Sydney.

Besides her parents, Elaine was predeceased by her sisters, Diana, and Margaret; brothers, Douglas, Manning, and her longtime partner, David.
Elaine will be remembered for her kindness and the love she held for her family.
There will be no visitation for the late Elaine Clyke. A celebration of life will take place at a later date when family members can gather together.
