She was extremely involved and adored the members of her Sunday School Class. She loved to bowl and was truly Clemson’s number one fan. The only thing Elaine loved more than watching Clemson play was spending time with her family, and especially her grandson Logan. She was a dedicated teacher, who served the children of McLaurin Elementary School in Florence District One for 35 years. She is best remembered by her students as the teacher who would not allow them to fail. She stayed after school daily, providing tutoring, popcorn, and drinks without expecting anything in return. Children at McLaurin excelled in math due to her belief that all children can learn, some just needed more time. Elaine will be missed by her family, friends, and her community.
