God had bigger plans for Elaine May Cooksey as he needed her work to begin in Heaven.
Angels arrived Wednesday, February 13, 2019, to take Elaine May Cooksey into the arms of
Jesus. Elaine, age 83, was born in Muncie, IN, to the late Ed and Eva Dyer, on February 1, 1936.

in her earlier years, she taught migrant children and Sunday school, and lead the Children's
Good News programs. Elaine worked at various retail establishments in Muncie before
becoming a full time homemaker, overseeing her home, and the care of her family. She
enjoyed cake decorating, spending time at the lakes, vacationing in Florida, and spending time
with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
