Ellouise married the love of her life, Eugene Lester Brannan in 1955, in Freeport, TX. They were blessed to celebrate many happy years prior to his passing in 2008.
Ellouise was a devout Christian and longtime member of Willow Drive Baptist Church. She worked at the appraisal/tax office for many years where she made lifelong friends. Above all, she loved her role as a mother and grandmother.
Ellouise was a loving Mother, Sister, Aunt and Friend. Mimi was a very loving and supportive Grandma. She never missed a sporting event or graduation. She was kind and gentle, yet strong and courageous. Through her actions she taught her family how to stay together through the toughest of times. Ellouise was most happy when surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed taking walks on the beach and family trips to the Frio River. Her love and compassion brought her kids and grandkids home for every holiday and has kept the family close. She loved having a full house and telling stories from all the family trips.
