Mrs. Elaine Ross, age 78 of McEwen, TN passed away Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at home. She was born September 16, 1946, in Erin, TN to Grady Thomas Hamilton, Sr. and Mary Louise Hamilton.

She was also a dedicated member of the Waverly Church of the Nazarene; Elaine's spiritual commitment was evident in her active participation within the church community.

She took great joy in spending time with her family, creating memories that will be treasured forever. Whether it was a simple Sunday dinner, or a holiday gathering filled with laughter, Elaine's presence was the heartbeat of those moments, radiating a love that brought everyone together.

Mrs. Elaine’s wishes were to be cremated.
