Eleen Ruby Grant, 95, our sweet, precious Mama finally got to go Home. She is with Jesus and able to stroll all over Heaven.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Manuel Grant; her father, Van C. Wells; and her mother, Retta Smathers Wells.
Surviving is her daughter, Shirley, and her husband, Mike DeWeese (like her son); and her son, Roger Grant. Also surviving are her brother, Zene Wells, and his wife, Janot; sister-in-law, Eva Mae Edwards; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Mama was a sweet-spirited Christian who took great joy in her homemaking skills and in being the world’s best mother.
Mama was a loyal member of Bethel Baptist Church for most of her life. She loved her church and her Savior, Jesus Christ, deeply.
Mama was a resident of Silver Bluff Nursing Facility. The staff and facility had become like family to Mama, Roger, and all of us as well.
