Elminia Beach Wimpey, 91, of Dalton, GA, died on Sunday, November 24, 2013 at her pretty little room at Regency Park in Dalton.
We will miss her more than she will ever know; however, we know that she will be missed by many. She shared her love and joy with her family and friends for 91 years, and she touched many lives in those years. She will be remembered as a spirited lady who loved to have fun and make jokes. One of her favorite things to do was spend time in her garden. She also like to travel with her grandaughters Darlene and Cindy and their mother. They spent many hours together at the beach and in the mountains. Mostly, she spent her life providing for her children, grand children, great-grand children, her friends, and anyone else that needed her.
She was preceded in death by four husbands; and a son, Ray Ball.
She is survived by two sons, Bobby McHan and Paul Dewayne Martin; daughter-in-law, Charlene Ray; grandchildren, Cindy Dobbins, Darlene Tallent, Robin Smithey, Karen Bramlett, Tony McHan, Belinda Pangle, Chad Martin, Tyler Martin, Sammy Ball and Jeannie Ball; great-grandchildren and great-great- grandchildren, Julie Baliles, Christopher Tallent, Jennifer Tallent, Andrea Mansfield, Zane Dobbins, Mary Beth Dobbins, Brittany Ball, Trey Carson, Nancy Roberts, Niki Fort, Chloe Hightower, Preston Pangle, Trevor Martin, Zaelyn Bowman, Waelyn Baliles, Porter Tallent, Robby Petty, Kyesha Williams, Brandon Headrick and Adam Headrick.

The family will receive friends from 1-3 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27.
