Elaine Cornwell passed from this life to her heavenly home on October 22, 2026, after years of declining health.

She was a 1965 graduate of Calhoun High School where she proudly marched in the Pride of the Southland marching band.

She spent her career employed by Mannington Carpets as an executive assistant for 27 years.

She was a faithful member of Heritage Baptist Church where she was a charter member and served as the pianist of many years.

Whether lifting her voice in praise or seated at the piano to play a beloved hymn, she used music to glorify God and share His love.
