Elaine B. Chambers
Elaine B. Chambers, of Cochranville, passed away on March 27, 2024 at Christiana Accent Care Hospice in Newark, Del. She was 76.

She was the longtime companion of Charles M. Blevins, Sr., with whom she shared over 30 years.

She is survived by her companion, Charles M. Blevins, Sr. and his son, Charles M. Blevins, Jr.; her daughter, Barbara E. Stanton (Fouad Kiamilev) and a grandson, Dylan Ridge Stanton; brother, James Fulton (Ruth); a niece, Donna Barone; and her nephews, Jim Nathlar, Jason Fulton, and Joshua Fulton. 

She was preceded in death by her sister, Lorraine Irene Nathlar and brother-in-law, Vincent Francis Nathlar. 

She was born in Chadds Ford, the daughter of the late James Calvin and Irene Catherine Lawrence Fulton.

Elaine attended Kennett and Avon Grove High Schools. Elaine went on to pursue accounting at Goldey-Beacom College of Business.

She owned and operated her cleaning business for over 40 years. Often, her clients became friends, and those longtime friendships were appreciated. 

Elaine loved to ride on the back of Charlie’s motorcycles, riding thousands of miles on many trips across the country. Her adventurous spirit sought every chance to ride, as well as to embark on cruises.  

Elaine especially loved her family and friends.  Elaine couldn’t resist having fun with her grandson, Dylan, hopping on his bikes or on rollercoasters.

Elaine truly found love and laughter in every moment. She radiated love, kindness, and joy wherever she went, and her smile could brighten any day.  Elaine was light–hearted and always fun-spirited.  She was too young at heart to ever grow old. 

Elaine will be greatly missed, and her family and friends have many special moments to cherish forever.

Services will be held at a later date.

Milton A. Cochran
Milton A Cochran, 78, of Landenberg, passed away on March 30, 2024 at his home. 

He was the spouse of Mary Cochran, with whom he shared 55 years of marriage. 

He was born in Fort Dodge, IA, the son of Eugene Cochran and Lucile (Howie) Cochran. He grew up in Lakeside, Storm Lake, IA.

Milt attended Iowa State University and graduated in 1968. Following graduation, he joined the Army and served two years during the Vietnam War. In 1970, he was hired by the DuPont Company as a mechanical designer, where he worked for 25 years. 

In 1994, Milt retired to form his own company, Cochran Consulting Inc., a mechanical design company he operated until 2009. A tragic auto accident in 2009 abruptly ended his career as Milt permanently lost his eyesight.

Milt is remembered for his fine woodworking skill, having built several pieces of furniture including a solid walnut cradle for his first-born and subsequent children and grandchildren. In addition, he designed and renovated an old house in Landenberg that he called home for 50 years.

Milt will be missed for his reminders of the many books on tape he read daily from the Library of Congress. He delighted in telling the author's story through his own rendition. 

In addition to his wife, Mary, he is survived by two daughters, Abigail Cates and her husband, Kevin of Port Orchard, WA and Laura Kuhs and her husband,  Daniel of Biddeford, ME; four grandchildren; and one brother, Dale Cochran and his wife, Beverly of Highland Ranch, CO.
