Campbell and W. Neil Wilson; one sister, Ruby N. Nicholson; one brother, David Forest Nichols; four grandchildren, five great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
Although Elba and Frank moved to Gainesville, GA in 1948, Elba never lost her love for the mountains and people of Hiawassee and Towns County. In recent years as she struggled with Alzheimers, her references to home always meant Towns County.
