Elois was born in New Orleans, LA and was a longtime resident of St. Bernard Parish before settling in Pearl River, LA. She found pleasure in the details of everyday life and caring deeply for others. She will always be remembered for her loyalty and dedication to her family, her caring and loving spirit, her laughter, and spoiling the grandchildren. She was a wonderful example of what it means to care for others and taught us that faith, hope and love can do amazing things. She will be deeply missed by us all.
