Mrs. Elouise Mazyck LaSaine, affectionately known as "Abbo", was born February 22, 1919 in the South Santee Community of McClellanville, South Carolina. She was the daughter of the late Emma Mitchell and James Mazyck. On Tuesday morning, July 13, 2010, Elouise was scheduled to be discharged from Georgetown Memorial Hospital to go home. She did go home, but not to her house in South Santee; she went to her heavenly home with the Lord at 10:20 a.m. Elouise received her education in the public schools of Charleston County and she worked in various occupations. Elouise was united in holy matrimony to Andrew LaSaine on April 1, 1939. This union was blessed with ten children. Her husband and three children, Raymond LaSaine, Andrew LaSaine Jr., and Charlotte Leach preceded her in death. At an early age, Elouise accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined Greater Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church where she served faithfully. Elouise loved her church. She was a member of Class No. 7, the Senior Choir, and the Women's Missionary Society. Her favorite song was "There Is a Bright Star Some Where". Who can find a virtuous woman? Mother Elouise was a hard working, soft-spoken, caring woman who enjoyed sharing with others. She was a woman of strong character, great wisdom, and great compassion. To God be the glory for the legacy of a strong, courageous woman. Mother Elouise leaves to cherish her memory and celebrate her life: four daughters, Josephine Myers, Thelma (Ronnie) Babbs, Margarette Kennedy all of Brooklyn, NY, and Theresia (Cornelius) Alston of McClellanville, SC; three sons, Jimmy (Nancy) LaSaine of McClellanville, SC, Henry LaSaine of Brooklyn, NY and Charles LaSaine of Bartow, FL; a granddaughter she reared as her own, Janette LaSaine of Brooklyn, NY; one son-in-law, Elder Harry Leach of Brooklyn, NY; one sister-in-law, Victoria Rivers of McClellanville, SC; twenty-one grandchildren, thirty-five great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren; four nieces, six nephews; and a host of relatives and friends.
