February 22, 2024

Elaine Ruth (Boyles) Daubert, 62, wife of Edward Daniel Daubert, died Feb. 12, 2024, at Jupiter Medical center Hospice in Jupiter, Florida. Elaine died from complications of pancreatic cancer.

Elaine, daughter of Delmar and Twyla (Howe) Boyles, was born June 19, 1961, in Red Cloud, Nebraska. Raised on the family farm in Jewell County, Kansas, she graduated valedictorian of the Class of 1979 at Burr Oak High School. She finished formal education at Fort Hays State University with a degree in accounting.

She worked in accounting at Lansdon and Associates in Garden City, Kansas. Once relocated in Wichita, Kansas, she worked at Bank Four and next was employed at Koch Industries where she served as controller for Koch Business Solutions, INVISTA and Koch Minerals-Koch Hydrocarbon. Because of multiple health conditions, she was forced to take an early retirement. She maintained a lifelong respect for Charles Koch and the company.

Elaine married Dan Daubert in Wichita on Sept. 19, 1991. In 2015, Elaine and Dan moved to Jupiter, Florida, to enjoy the pleasant weather year round, beautiful golf courses and dear friends. Their home was always open to visiting friends and relatives. Whether it was boating with their favorite captain, time at the beach, fine dining, shopping in cool boutiques or hunting wild boar...guests were pampered with love by Elaine.

Dan survives with her two stepsons, Shawn of Lawrence, Kansas, and Colter and his family of Kansas City. Other survivors are her beloved Boyles brothers and their families: Douglas of Burr Oak, Kansas, Marvin and wife, Deb, of Mankato, Kansas, and Bryan and wife, Jan, of Superior Nebraska. There are numerous nieces and nephews: Deidra (husband, Tim) Hamilton, Evan Boyles, Jami (husband, Brad) Elkin, Scot (wife, Kristene) Boyles, Brady (wife, Sam) Alexander, Cortney (wife, Van) Alexander, Whitney (wife, Alison) Boyles, Stuart (wife, Tina) Boyles. Along with many great-nieces and -nephews.

Elaine and her mother were proud DAR members. Her father was a Navy veteran serving in Okinawa and other areas in the South Pacific, earning a Victory Medal and Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal. She was preceded in death by both of her parents.

The family plans on having a remembrance for Elaine at the Burr Oak cemetery Memorial weekend. Details will be shared at a later date.
