Elaine was born in Gastonia, NC to Dee & Lucille White on March 28, 1946. She graduated from beauty school in Rocky Mount, NC and worked as a beautician for over 40 years. Elaine could always be seen with a smile on her face which made her beautiful eyes sparkle. She had a great sense of humor and was always the life of the party. Elaine and her husband Danny Sparkman, who were married on June 6, 1981, shared many adventures together and created a lifetime of memories. They shared their love of music and travel, even traveling to Paris on their honeymoon.
Elaine was preceded in death by her parents Junior and Lucille White.
Elaine is survived by her husband Danny; son Jeff Sparkman (Alecia); son Randy Sparkman; granddaughters Skylar D O’Brien and Makayla Sparkman; grandsons Danny Randall Sparkman Jr and Nathan Sparkman. She is also survived by a brother James White; sister Rena Wolford (Kevin); sister Donna Rhinehart (Joey); and a special companion, her cat, Sugar Magnolia.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday May 18th at 1:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall of Brunswick Islands Baptist Church located at 1672 Mt Pisgah Road in Supply.
