Elsie Mae Hampton

Born on February 11, 1933, in Hinson, Georgia, to Bill and Cora Bell Cardin, Elsie was the firstborn of ten children. From an early age, Elsie felt a deep calling to faith, recalling vividly the moment she felt God's presence at a revival in Tallahassee. This life-changing experience shaped a lifetime of devotion, inspiring her to share God's Word and lead by example, touching the lives of all who knew her with her love and light.

Elsie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jack Hampton; her parents, Cora Bell Walker (Buford) and Bill Cardin; and her siblings, Gladys Spain, Dolly Wormuth, William Cardin, Dale Walker, Marlin Cardin, and Carlin Cardin.

She is lovingly remembered by her son, Larry Hampton (Nancy); granddaughter, April Hampton (Rick); great-granddaughter, Alacia Carde (Josh); and two great-great-grandsons, Asher and Julian, as well as her siblings, Ray Cardin (Deloris), Hayward Walker (Jean), and Jack Cardin.

Elsie's life was a testament to faith, family, and service to others. She could often be found filled with warmth and kindness, whether sitting on her porch swinging or enjoying a good old fried egg sandwich and a cup of coffee. Her unwavering devotion to God will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
