Elaine Low was born and raised in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. She attended the University of Utah where she met Joseph E. Jack. They married in the Alberta Temple on September 16, 1948. The couple had four sons. They lived in Staten Island, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Mount Edgecumbe, Alaska; and Salt Lake City, Utah.

At the April 1987 general conference of the church, Jack was called as the second counselor in the Young Women organization to president Ardeth G.
