A homemaker, she was a native of Polk County and was a lifetime resident of Bolivar. Elva was saved at an early age and was a member of the Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Bolivar. She remained a faithful member as long as her health permitted.

Elva was a wonderful friend and neighbor, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed going to the rodeo in Oklahoma with her friend Harry Smith.

One of her favorite things to do was sing "Happy Birthday" to anyone she knew on the radio, where she was known as "Biscuits and Gravy."
Services were Friday, Dec. 11, in the Butler Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Norman Culbertson officiating. Music was provided by Norman and Jewell Culbertson. Burial was in the Bolivar City Cemetery.
