Cass Tech (not minding the 
multiple buses to get there). She 
took classes in art history, fashion 
illustration, etc. She played the 
violin, the piano and cello, always 
having a joy of classical music.
After getting married and 
having three children, moving to 
Southfield and getting the kids 
in school, she returned to school 
for clinical psychology at Wayne. 
Before completing her doctorate, 
she moved to Boca Raton, Fla., 
and finished her degree. Coming 
back home to Southfield, she 
built a thriving practice.
Elaine then decided to build 
a home in Ann Arbor, where 
she continued her practice for 
the next 20 years. Wanting to be 
closer to her children, she later 
moved to West Bloomfield. In 
every home, she had an art stu-
dio, where she continued her oil 

painting, mostly abstract oil on 
canvas.
Dr. Soller was known for her 
warm bright smile, appreciation 
of the beauty in the world, accep-
tance of people for who they are, 
being someone who was easy to 
talk to and, of course, her red 
sports car. She will be missed.
 She is survived by her children, 
Marc and Cathy Soller, Daniel 
Soller and Jay Ostahowski, and 
Cheryl and Terry Petz; grand-
children, Kaylin and Brady Slage, 
Eric Soller, Kyle Johnson, Ben 
Johnson, and Shawna and Shawn 
Ansley; great-grandchildren, 
Griffin and Azaleah Ansley.
Dr. Soller was the devoted 
daughter of the late Anne R. and 
the late Samuel Klein; the loving 
sister of the late Robert Klein.
There will be a memorial 
service scheduled at a later date.
