Ms. Busby, 75, of Brookhaven, passed away December 18, 2021. She was born September 29, 1946, in Brookhaven,

    Elois was so dear to our family. She helped care for my beloved mother through the last year of her life, and we will always think of her fondly.
    She was considerate, kind-hearted, and enhanced the quality of Mom's days. She was an advocate for our family, monitored mother's care, provided simple pleasures,
    and held her hand when she felt insecure and we, sadly, could not always be there. We are so grateful and blessed for having known her.

    Our deep sympathy for your family's loss. She talked of you all, especially "her babies", often with such obvious love and affection.
