This morning, we got the very sad news, that Elaine Lien passed away after a fall at her home. Elaine was a realtor with the Brookfield office of the First Weber Group....I don't know how old she was or how long she was licensed...or with her broker...
I do know that Elaine was every bit a lady...a polished professional. She knew the industry and those fortunate enough to know her, loved and respected her. She was always there to greet every agent with a gentle smile, a willing hand and a warm heart.
Her passing is a shock....and will always have an unreal quality to it because she was such a vibrant soul. We know that if it is hard for us, ..her family that survives her will miss her immeasurably.
She is pictured here with the Lien Team...from Left to Right, Kent Klapperich, son Jeff Lien and husband, Basil Lien.
To her family....you know that she left the world a far richer place...and that we feel as we know that everyone does, it was an honor to know her and she has made an indelible and wonderful mark that will be forever imprinted on the real estate industry....one we can all aspire to and take a great deal of pride in....a legacy that will last forever.
Visitation will be Thursday at Brookfield Lutheran Church, 18500 W. Burleigh Road in Brookfield 4-8 pm and begining at 10 am until services at 11 am at Wisconsin Memorial Park, Chapel of the Chimes.
Please remember Elaine and her family in your thoughts and prayers. The family has requested in lieu of flowers, memorials be made in her name to the Elmbrook Humane Society, 20950 Enterprise Avenue · Brookfield, WI 53045
With our deepest sympathy and sincerest respect,

Thank you Kristine...
I spoke with someone yesterday who knew Elaine and saw her there often...I have sent the family what I hope is a comforting link to this blog.
My condolences go to her family, and bless you for doing such a nice warm tribute to her. I was with FW for years and the Lien Team name says alot.
Elaine was their "glue"....she kept it all together and will be missed by many for all she did and contributed...I can hear her voice....cheerful and upbeat regardless of the market.
