Elaine Overman Daniel
Elaine Overman Daniel of Ooltewah, Tennessee, went to heaven to see her much loved Savior and Lord on Wednesday, July 12, 2023.
Elaine was born on Jan. 15, 1930, in Salisbury, North Carolina. She graduated from Spencer High School in 1947. She pursued her passion in nursing – graduating from Rowan Memorial Nursing School in 1950. She married her sweetheart, Robert Council Daniel in March of 1951. She is the mother of two daughters, Sabrina Grace Daniel of Red Bank and Martishia (Marti) Daniel Smith of Ooltewah. She has two granddaughters, Katie Woodard (Ryan) of Ooltewah and Sarah Gackle (Matt) of Birmingham, Alabama. Elaine was never happier than when she spent time with her brand new great-granddaughter, Lainey Joy Woodard. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Ruth Overman.
Elaine was a follower of Jesus, loved to study the Bible, and walked in His Ways. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and friend as well as a dedicated registered nurse. She spent most of her career at Memorial Hospital as the head nurse in the recovery room and then served as a part-time nurse at the McCallie School as well as doing private duty nursing.
She will be remembered as a Christian who was loving, patient, kind, gentle, and faithful with a quiet spirit. She always had a listening ear and a wise, thoughtful response. She will be missed tremendously but is enjoying Jesus, her husband – Council, her parents, and other family and friends in Heaven.
We wish to thank all who contributed to her care over the last several years. Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Covenant Presbyterian Church, Precept ministry or Samaritan’s Purse. To God be the Glory!
Services will be held on Friday, July 14, at 11:30 a.m. in the funeral home chapel with Rev. Eric Mullinax officiating. Burial will follow at the Chattanooga National Cemetery.
