Eleatha Gossett-Young Obituary

My Name is Jeanine Thornton. My grandmother Virdia Gossett-Bibbs was aunt E.L. sister. My Mother Lula McClelland was name after her grandmother Lula Gossett. Aunt E.L. was truly a intercessor. She prayed for me to pass a nursing class. She also told me to trust in the lord. The family in Toledo,Ohio will miss you, and thank God you were an example of holiness.

"Rest in peace Auntie, you are with your Father up above."

Love Yogi

Rest in peace Auntie, you are with your Father up above.

Aunt E. L. asked me to write my baby girl's name down for her and she would pray for her. This was during the 2002 family reunion in Chicago, Ill. My baby girl is now pursuing a law degree at the University of Memphis. She has turned her life around and is doing great. Thank you, Aunt E. L. for being such a great prayer warrior. I love you.

great-niece and Eloise Elliott's daughter.

My name is Eloise Elliott. Aunt E. L. was my daddy's (Chester Gossett)sister. She and I were raised like sisters because I was raised by her mom and dad, Lula and Arthur Gossett. I remember Aunt E. L. jumping into a lake to get me when I was little and had fallen in and neither one of us could swim. That was the type of person she was. I am going to miss her and I thank God I was able to see her one more time before she passed. It was during her celebration at her church. Rest in peace Aunt E. L.

The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example..."That is what you left for me and my family."...We loved you,but God loved you more....We will miss that laughter....Niece-Irene

Thank God for giving you ninety-three years

with us on this earth.

Granny I was just thinking about you again and how much I miss you. I was thinking how happy I was to know that you were still here to receive the Mothers Day card that I had sent. Tina and I had just received news that you were ill and we had told one another how we had jut sent out cards for you. We were both crying because we didn't think you would be here to get them. We were so happy that you did. I know you are having a wonderful time being in the presence of the

Lord. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Loving you always,

Your grandaughter (Flinard's daughter),

I Sonya C. Chapman-Thomas is the Great Niece of Eleatha Gossett-Young's. It was my pleasure know her. Eleatha Gossett-Young was a great inspiration during my years of knowing her. My Great Aunt pray me through my schooling years and parent hood. She also pray me through my marriage. And I'm happy to say that I'm the best mother and a good wife. My Aunt giving me all type of bible scripture to read to get me through what ever situation I'm going through. I'm going to truly miss her. And I will always remember her. I love my Great Aunt Eleatha Gossett-Young's

When you talk about Aunt E.L., you could say so many things about her life and ministry. You could tell of her devotion to the word of God and how she preached it in the most hostile of places. Or you could share about her heart for world missions. Or her love for students and their love for her. Momma Dorris and I have our own favorite “Mother Eleatha story” about how she effected and influenced us in ministry and service. We cannot replace auntie; she was one of a kind. I was fortunate to have been a part of her life and love.

MaDear,

You were a blessing to me and you showed me how one should walk according to God's Holy Word. Thanks for all the spiritual guidance and the motherly(grandmother) wisdom you have given me. MaDear I will miss u dearly but I know you r in heaven looking down on me and asking God to keep his loving arms around me and my family.

I love you!!!

Granny, I miss you dearly. I know that you are with the Lord. i can't wait for that great reunion some day. I will miss you singing your song, "I"ll Fly Away".



Love your granddaughter,
