Elaine Marie Zoller

October 8, 1951 - December 30, 2021

Vancleave, Mississippi - Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, Elaine Marie Zoller died on December 30, 2021, at age 70, surrounded by her family. She was born on October 8, 1951, in Dayton, Ohio to the late Henry and Virginia Clarke. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother Michael Clarke, twin brother Phil Clarke, her sister Anita Risden, and her son, Clinton. Elaine lived in VanCleave, Mississippi, with her loving husband of 34 years, Dudley.   Elaine is survived by her children: Christel Marvin, Bobbie Fuller (Cary), and Rick March; grandchildren: Ariel Clement (Aaron), Gabby Mead (Tyler Horne), Ayden March, Max March, Lyla March, and Huckslee March; great-grandson: Steven Clement; brother and sisters: Bud Clarke, Pat McCombs (John), and Virjean Hopson; dozens of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, other relatives, and friends.   Elaine enjoyed a deep personal relationship with her best friend, Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Each morning she arose with unrelenting optimism and gratitude for God's provision of, in her words "It's a beautiful day". Then she would open her bible app and share the "word" and morning prayers with her family and friends. Elaine was a four-time cancer survivor. The ravages of which she battled for over 36 years. Always fearless, positive, and optimistic; she was truly an inspiration of courage to all she met. She found happiness everywhere and with everyone.   Elaine loved nature and always acknowledged the "source" of all creation. She loved everyone and never met a stranger; illuminating every room she entered with that big beautiful Irish smile shining brightly as the sunrise. Elaine's interests were boundless. She loved her flower garden, the butterflies, and the birds, especially the little ones ensuring their feeders were always fresh and full. She enjoyed every little thing in life from singing and dancing to cooking and painting, but most of all she enjoyed her time with her family every moment she could get. She especially loved to travel and explore new places, her love of adventure even motivated her to learn to fly an airplane solo. Elaine was an avid reader and writer interested in past and present cultures. Although her favorite book was The Bible which she diligently read each new day. Elaine kept many journals throughout her life, perhaps this one entry might offer a glimpse of that most wonderful heart. "May I fill this book with much happiness and love."   To be sure, Elaine understood and embodied and shared her boundless love with every person, animal and plant whose path she may have ever crossed. As she had a short life among us she was a great blessing to all she touched. We'll see you later our sweet love.   "With Christ as your friend and heaven as your home, the day of death becomes sweeter than sweeter than the day of birth" - Max Lucado
