Elaine Prough Obituary

Elaine Prough
Arenzville - Elaine Prough, 75, of Arenzville passed away September 18th. She was born December 21, 1948, in Dallas, Tx, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Hay. She became the proud wife of Jim Prough on July 30, 1992.
She is survived by her husband, Jim, Daughter, Jacquie (Tim) Meyer, Son, John Prough, Grandchildren, Megan (Zach) Chenault, JD (Bianca) Clement, Jordan (Arely) Meyer, Great grandchildren, Weston, Chloe, Zoey, and another great grandson on the way. She is also survived by several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Elaine was a friend to all and didn't know a stranger. She loved to travel and especially loved the ocean. She loved all animals, eating grits, knitting, visiting with friends, experimenting with new recipes, and reporting to Arenzville as Snow Patrol 1. She had such a passion for life. However, nothing meant more to her than being a wife, mother, and nana.
Elaine was a member of the Arenzville United Methodist Church and enjoyed volunteering her time there and gathering in fellowship with her church family. She was also a member of the Arenzville American Legion Ladies Auxiliary and a Bunco group. She volunteered at the Burgoo for many years. She was also known to volunteer her family, especially her husband, for just as many activities. Her absence will be felt in her community.
A celebration of Life will be held at 4pm on Saturday, September 23 at the Arenzville United Methodist Church. Services will be conducted by Elaine's friend and Pastor, Debbie Hamilton with a dinner to follow for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the church in Elaine's honor. The Williamson Funeral Home in Jacksonville is assisting the family. Condolences may be left online at www.airsman-hires.com.
