Elois devoted her life to God, family and her church Faith Hope Love Ministries. She enjoyed cooking, sewing quilts for everyone in the family, and tending her flower and vegetable gardens. Her smiles, positive attitude and loving ways endeared her to everyone who knew her. Eloise Louise Babcock was God's blessing to each and every life she touched. The memories we have of her will be forever cherished.
