Life Reflections

Elois Ann Elmore Evans, daughter of the late James and Eula Mae Chandler Elmore, was born on June 17, 1948 in Sumter County, South Carolina. She was married for 59 years to her high school sweetheart on June 11, 1965. On Saturday, February 15, 2025, God's amazing voice whispered to Elois to take her rest from labor and she answered His call.

Elois received her formal education at Walker-Gamble School in New Zion, SC. She worked different jobs, but her most lovable one was manager at East Clarendon Middle/High School Cafeteria in Turbeville, SC for twenty-five years.

At an early age, Elois began her spiritual journey and joined Howard Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, where she worked relentlessly in the church until her health began to fail. She currently held the position as head of the Kitchen Committee, also as a Missionary, as well as other positions throughout the years, including Church Secretary, Usher Board Member, and the Steward Board.

Elois enjoyed her family, especially her great grandchildren. She also loved to cook and bake cakes and pies, her favorite was yellow rice, pound cake and biscuits. Elois loved all her family dearly and did everything in her power to keep peace and harmony.
