Elaine Lovell

Elaine T. Lovell, age 62, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 22, 2016. She was born March 15, 1954 in New York City, NY to Margaret Clemmens Middleton and Herman Middle. She married Andre Gilbert Joseph Lovell, her best friend and love of her life on January 26, 1976. They were married for 40 years, but we like to say 45-50 since they’ve known each other since they were children… Elaine is survived by her husband Andre Lovell, three children NDRE Lovell Jr., Caprice Tyrine McMullen, Celina Rochelle Messon and their spouses Shareem Lovell, Eric A. McMullen and Luis A. Messon. Elaine has five siblings that she is survived by, Evelyn Middleton, Zetta Brown, Herman Middleton, Vanessa Gilchrist and Kevin Middleton. Elaine has nine beautiful grandchildren Shereem, Kayla, Ashley, Malik, Jayla, Elisa, Jason, Marcus, Zoey and one great grand Peyton, as well as a host of family members from Charleston, SC and New York City, NY. Elaine also had many spiritual brothers, sisters and children. She loved her family and friends. She especially loved Jehovah God. Elaine’s mother-in-law was approached by Jehovah’s Witnesses; she liked what they had to say about the Bible and asked them to please visit her daughter-in-law. When they did, Elaine loved what they had to say about what happens to you when you die. She always feared death and took comfort in knowing that one day she would be able to see her dead loved ones once again in paradise on earth. Elaine dedicated her life to God and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on February 7,1987 in Augusta, GA. It was important to her that she teach her children about Jehovah, about his love and about his promise for better life in paradise on earth. Elaine’s love for her family and neighbors moved her to share the hope with anyone she came in contact with. Ecclesiastes 7:1 says “A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death is better than the day of birth.” She left a good name for herself and Jehovah. She was an example of what a good wife is, a good mother, good daughter, good sister and good friend. Many continue to express kind words regarding Elaine, that she was kind, loving and most of all dedicated to her family and to what the Bible taught. We will never forget her and we look forward to seeing her again.
