The Women of the Elgin Sub District presented plaques to the Elgin Funeral Home, owners Joshua and Jamie Hausladen, and Elgin Providence-Jones Funeral Home, owner Brad Jones, for their support and dedication during this COVID-19 pandemic. Their selfless service to the community is helping us all get through these tough times of bereavement. Even in this COVID-19 pandemic, the funeral profession never stops and their tireless efforts are not going unnoticed.
Weddie Summers of Elgin was recognized by Rev. R.W and Sis. Carolyn Carter of the Elgin/Del Vale Area for her caring and sacrifice to the residents at the Elgin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center during her employment of 46 years, always going above and beyond her assigned task.
