Obituary: ELVIE G. PETERSON
DATELINE: Portland:
Elvie G. Peterson Trouvalis Swan, 96, passed away on 15, 2012 at the Barron where she resided for the past 2 years.
She was born in Portland on 13, 1915, one of 10 children of David A. Peterson and Matilda (Adler) Peterson.
Elvie attended Portland schools thru the 8th grade and then left school to help support her family. While working as a waitress at the Splendid Restaurant in Portland, owned by John Jack Trouvalis, she met her husband-to-be George Trouvalis, one of Jacks brothers. George, a baker, owned and operated The Supreme Bakery, now Reo Window Shade Co. at Woodfords corner. were soon married. Her husband taught her baking at which she excelled. In order to please him she took Greek lessons and became fluent in the language. Greeks were amazed at how well she spoke Greek. Upon the death of his brother, Jack, George sold the bakery and took over ownership & operation of the Splendid. A few years later George suddenly died. Elvie, 27, with 2 young children, George (5) and Sophia (2) and pregnant with her 2nd daughter, Georgette, took over the business functioning as bookkeeper, baker and general manager. She became known as Mrs. T and the Splendid became known for its wonderful pies and pastries.
Four years later at the age of 31, Elvie was told she only had a few years to live because of a kidney condition. She had one kidney which never developed and the functioning kidney was diseased and soon would no longer function. Thinking she had only a short time left and wanting to spend as much time as she could with her children she took in partners, Arthur and Shirley Hawkes
Whether a misdiagnosis or a miracle Elvies functioning kidney continued to fail but the other one developed fully and in 1962 the diseased kidney was removed and she lived on for another 50 years.
Her son, C.G. Nick Trouvalis, remembers her generosity, not only to her family but to strangers. At Christmas time she and her children would visit families in need, presenting them with presents. Summers at the Trouvalis camp named Splendid View on Panther Pond in Raymond, were always looked forward to. Elvie loved to play horseshoes, swim and water ski. And could she do handstands and cartwheels!!
While still in the restaurant business, in the early 60s she and daughter Sophia owned and operated the Pride Motel & Cottages on Route 1 in Scarborough. In the mid 70s she and her partners sold the restaurant and retired.
35 years as a widow Elvie again found love and married Ernest Ernie Swan of Westbrook. lived on Street in Portland for almost 20 years, during which time Elvie became a very good pool player. For the last 5 years of Ernies life, Elvie cared for him day and night after he had suffered a stroke.


Elvie was the last of the 10 Peterson children. Predeceasing her were her sisters: Adelaide Anthony, Louwine Woodbury and Irene Fletcher, brothers; Burton, David, Earle, Elmer Pete, Kenneth and Roy Peterson, her 2 husbands and her 2 daughters Sophia Morris and Georgette Christoforakis. She is survived by her son C. G. Nick Trouvalis and his wife Anna, several grandchildren, step-grandchildren, great-Grandchildren, step-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
