Ms. Elnora, as she is known by some, received the Lord, as her savior, at an early age. Family would hear always saying as she watched the Ten Commandments, “No one comes through the father except by me.” She was a strong woman who loves the lord and often didn’t mind “telling you how it is and waiting for your response, if any; “she wasn’t one to be messed with.” Elnora Hunter will be truly missed by all who encountered her.
