Elliott McClure

January 19, 1943 - February 19, 2014

Elliott Milton McClure, age 71, of Mableton passed away Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Elliott was born to Grady Earl McClure and Wilma Mae Benton McClure on January 19, 1943 in Commerce, Georgia. After graduating from South Cobb High School, Elliott furthered his education while working at Georgia Power. He later worked as a Construction Supervisor building local churches for TMC Construction Company. He often served as a calm mediator for church committees. Elliott was a loving and kind individual. He was the kind of person who would never meet a stranger and received pleasure out of helping others without expecting anything in return. He was often referred to as, "Good Old Elliott." Elliott was a family man who created many fond memories of his children growing up. He made sure to go to all of his son and daughter's ball games. He also drove the bus for his Church's youth group. Elliott would do anything for his kids and grandchildren... even play dress up when needed. In his spare time, Elliott enjoyed fishing, grilling, gardening, music of all types, and reading. He enjoyed watching and listening to sports and rooted for the Atlanta Braves. Although he shared the nickname "Baby Brother," he will be remembered sweetly as the best brother ever. Elliott Milton McClure is survived by his wife, Brenda Louise Justice McClure; son, Steven Keith "Steve" McClure and his wife Laureen of Mableton; daughter, Kimberly M. "Kim" Hill of Powder Springs; sister, Peggy Bishop of Mableton; grandchildren, Karly Hill, Spencer McClure and Celia McClure; aunt, Mildred Chandler of Elberton; nieces, Julie Landmon and Wynne Poulos; nephew, Matt Bishop; and great nephews, Kyle Landmon and Chase Bishop; and many loving cousins. The family will receive friends Saturday, February 22, 2014 from noon until service time at 2:00 pm at White Columns Funeral Chapel in Mableton with Chaplain Raymond Coffman officiating. Interment will follow at Mount Harmony Memorial Gardens in Mableton.
