Elaine Bates Smith

Elaine is on my list of 'Best Teachers Ever'. And outside the classroom her dedication to her students was just as important.

Dear Mike,
Can't believe it has been almost 6 years since we lost Elaine. So fortunate to be able to see you on Facebook and still connect! Wayne and DawnEllison Smith, the Ginn ,Smith and Ellison families

So sorry to hear of your loss. Fond memories of good times with Elaine at HMS. Remember her from North Charleston High, too. Thoughts and prayers are sent your way.

So sorry for your loss. Thinking of your entire family and Nell's also.

Elaine was an amazing woman who touched the hearts of all who knew her. She approached every situation with sophistication and class. We will all miss her loving spirit.

While working with Elaine at Hannah Middle School (many years ago), I was taught many beautiful life lessons ... Elaine's integrity, sincerity, warmth and friendship were a mainstay in my life then and have helped me in times of reflection. I loved the time we were together in the media center. I am thankful God allowed our paths to cross.

Mike, Laurin,

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Elaine was a special individual who was always caring and thoughtful to me and my family. We valued this friendship. Please accept our sincere condolences.

The Chandlers

With fond memories and regrets.

So sorry to hear about Elaine.
