Elaine P. McConnell was born on August 8, 1941 in Electra, Texas to parents Neal P. Parker and Geneva Rodawalt Parker, then entered into eternal rest on February 12, 2019 at the age of 77. As a Christian woman Elaine never smoked or drank, took care of herself, and took pride in her home that her and her husband built. The most important to her were faith and family. Elaine was soft spoken and kept to herself, but would let you know if you messed up. She was very caring, nurturing, loved her family and friends, and was an excellent homemaker when raising her family of four children, then grandchildren. She enjoyed arranging flowers, interior decorating, painting, drawing, loved music, and was a good cook.
