Hello everyone, this is Brad Davis in Oklahoma City. I am Elaine's great-nephew (I just figured out). Elaine's sister was Pearly Thomas (my grandmother). So that makes me Elaine's great-nephew. I had not seen Elaine since 1978 (when I was first married). I brought my new wife to Okmulgee to meet the family. I am not sure how I even new where their home was at that time. But Elaine was in the kitchen playing cards with Brenda. But I have a confession, the first time I met Elaine as a little boy (probably around 1964 or so when I was about 8), I was smitten the moment I saw her! I had the biggest crush on her!
But I am very saddened to learn of her passing. I pray God will bring peace to everyone for their loss.
God Bless
