Elaine Pare Culbertson, of Rossville, GA, passed away peacefully on August 10, 2023 at CHI Memorial Hospital.

Elaine was a retired nurse, specializing in Mental Health as well as teaching nursing at Dalton Junior College AKA Dalton State College after she graduated.

She was the loving wife of John Culbertson for over 46 years, and the mother of three children, Robert (Kimberly), Aaron (Gretchen) and Ashley. Elaine had three grandchildren, Colin, Fiona and Tim. She was the sister of Diane Hillock and the aunt of Elaine Sullivan.

Elaine was an avid reader and she loved to travel all over.

John and Elaine always wanted to have a family. After years of trying, they decided to go the route of adoption. They opened their home and hearts to have the family they wanted and in return they saved their three children and gave them the family they needed.

We want to say thank you to all the doctors, nursing and staff at CHI Memorial for their hard work and great care of Elaine and her family.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Cancer Society or an adoption agency of your choice.

Condolences can be sent to the family at our website of www.lane-southcrestchapel.com

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, Aug. 16, from 2-4 p.m. with the memorial service beginning at 4 p.m. in the South Crest Chapel with Pastor Patrick Cooper officiating.

Arrangements are made by Lane Funeral Home and Crematory South Crest Chapel, Rossville.
