Elsie Lucille Meeler
February 23rd 1927 - March 7th 2020
Elsie Lucille Meeler was born February 23, 1927 in Banks County, GA. She was the last child born to James W. Meeler and Etta Davis Meeler. Growing up, she attended Damascus Baptist Church in Banks County, Georgia with her mother, Etta, and siblings, Robert and Odell. Daniel Deaton told me, that when Elsie was a child, she would often brag and quote, "I am going to marry a rich man, so I don't have to work!"
Elsie married Verner Daniel Looney, born March 30, 1922, on November 1, 1946 in Habersham County, Georgia. Elsie retired from Grady School, in Homer, GA as cafeteria supervisor, and Verner retired from construction work. They had two sons, Verner Lee Looney and Edwin Dillard Looney. Elsie Looney passed away on March 7th, 2020. She is buried at Franklin Memorial Gardens in North Lavonia, Georgia.
