She was born in Fannin County, Georgia on December 12, 1922. She grew up on a farm in McKaysville.

We are waiting for the days when the Lord calls each one of us home to be with her!
Our beautiful and wonderful Momma is in a heavenly paradise now with her sons, Jerry L. Elrod and Carl G. Elrod; her daughters-in-law Yvonna (Leroy) and Debbie (Carl); her son-in-law, Dewey (Deloris); her parents, Luther Sosebee and Ola (Pack) Sosebee; her brothers, Ernest, Grady, Cecil, Hubert, Homer Cee, Audlee and Arvil; her sisters, Lucy and Pearl; and her husband, Bennie L.
