Gunn

The angel of eternal life, rest, and peace came and gently lifted the Spirit of Sis. Elaine Gunn on Saturday, August 7, 2021 at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Columbus, Mississippi.

Elaine was the fourth child of ten children born to the late Will Gunn and Earnestine Sykes Gunn on February 8, 1953 in Okolona, Mississippi.
Elaine accepted Christ at an early age and united with the Zion Spring M.B. Church under the Pastoral ship of M.L. Perry. She later joined Payne Chapel where she served as Sunday School teacher, Choir member, and acting Secretary. However, she wasn't satisfied until she returned back where it all started at HOME, Zion Spring. She loved singing in the choir. Elaine was an active member until her health failed in November of 2019.
Elaine was educated in Monroe County from the Aberdeen School District. In 1971 she graduated from Aberdeen High School.

In 1973, Elaine joined in Holy Matrimony to Frank Wilson Jr. From this union, one child was born. "TeeTee" or Elaine, however known, was full of life and loved her family. She was loving, kind hearted, and didn't mind putting you in your place if you were wrong! If she ever offended anyone, she was never "TOO BIG" to say "I'm Sorry".
