Growing up in our little community in fourche all the moms took care of and looked out for all of us kids and Eloise was one of those moms! I knew every time I would go in the grocery store she would be there to greet me and if she saw me doing anything that I shouldn't be doing she would try and guide me in the right direction and I thank her for that (now). She is a great mom and I know she will be missed!

Family, your mom was the best. She took care of us in need with all she could give. The most loving person anyone should have know was Eloise. She was the mom of Fourche Dam, loving & caring to us all. Then she become my Aunt Eloise.
A loving nature, A heart of gold, the very best this world could hold. Never selfish, always kind. These are the memories you left behind. A quiet prayer for a you a special person In God's Care now.
I love you all

I'm sure All Of You know how much we loved Eloise, not only was she the best mother -in-law a girl could wish for. But she taught me some many of life's little treasures, and yes I mean how to make the BEST Chicken and Dumplings from Scratch. But mostly it was the kind words and the loving feeling I always felt when I would leave after a visit with her. You always knew she was sincere when she said she loved you and to come back soon. This is one lady we should ALL USE as a role model. She has touched the hearts of so many with her beautiful smile, and has touched my soul in a way I will never forget, and will always have her in my heart Rest In Peace with our mighty Lords arms wrapped around till we meet again
