Elnora Hubble Obituary
Elnora (Lawrence) Hubble, age 87, of Michigan City, Indiana, passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021.
Elnora was born on July 19, 1934, in Truman, Arkansas, to Miles and Hattie (Ritchey) Halfacre, who precedes her in death.
Elnora was survived by her children, Gary (Diana), Dewey, Barry and Dale (Michelle) Lawrence; grandchildren, Joshua (Marta), Melissa (Joseph), Nicole (Taaron), Erik, Phillip (Carissa), Abby (Brian), Stacey, Brett and Courtney (Mike); 22 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, Eddie Lawrence; second husband, Paul Hubble; brother, Jake David Halfacre; sisters, Juil Bynum, Isabelle Maple, Florence Colvin, and infant sister, Vina Lee.
Elnora began work in her early teens working as an usherette at the Liberty Theater in Michigan City. She loved to talk about the old movies that she was able to watch for free while working there. One of Elnora's proudest moments was when she ran for Secretary of State on the American Party ticket in 1976.
She worked as secretary for the family business, Lawrence Refuse Service, for years as well as being involved in the second family business, The Junk Shop. Church was a big part of Elnora's life, especially Free Will Baptist Church in Mesa, Arizona, where she lived until recently. She loved to cook, and one of her favorite specialties was her world famous "Chicken and Dumplings." Her life's joy was to spend time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Elnora was a devoted and wonderful mother and will truly be missed.

Dear Gary and Diane, as well as all others,
El = God, Nora = light. This is what she represented to me.
She seemed to always spread joy and laughter. She loved to talk about the Lord and share memories of family. A truly beautiful woman. I cherish my memories of phone calls and times spent with her.
