Larry, Patrick and Matthew, we are holding you close in our hearts as you go through this difficult time. May our Heavenly Father and your memories of Elaine bring you comfort. Sending you much love.
Mrs. Stancil was a good person who always would take the time to listen to others. I had the pleasure of working with her at SNHS for a number of years. I remember her compassion for kids who may have seemed troubled. She would always take the time to listen and give good advice. Rest from your labors for your good work on earth is done.
Larry, Patrick and Matthew; my prayers and heartfelt thoughts of condolence go out to you and Elaine’s sisters, brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews. I am so sorry and so sad at your loss. When someone you love receives a cancer diagnosis you always know this day will come, but, as we are all painfully aware, this does not make the reality any less painful. It has taken a couple of days for me to absorb this news. I’m still disbelieving and my heart is broken. She was such a sweet, caring, smart and gentle person. She loved me and I loved her in that special way life long friends do. While I will always cherish the special memories of our times together, that spans decades of my life, from elementary school until today, I will miss Elaine terribly.
My prayers are sent up for the family that God will extend his loving arms to comfort and support them.
I did not know Elaine that well but what I did know of her she was a kind and generous person, my sympathy to the family.
Prayers for the family.
Rest In Peace, Elaine, in the arms of your savior. We will certainly miss you. I’m in awe of the strength & corage you had. Larry, Patrick & Matthew you are in my thoughts & prayers. May God cover the family with his peace & comfort.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. There is a very comforting scripture found at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can look forward to a time when death will be done away with forever. I hope that this scripture can bring some comfort during this time.
Elaine was a sweet and kind person. I first met her when our sons were in preschool together. Then we worked together at Coopers School. She will be missed but I know she is in a better and free from all pain.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Such a kind hearted soul. Her work on earth is done. Rest easy to the family knowing you will join her one day.
So sorry to hear this. Blessings of peace to your family Elaine, From grade school through high school and always a sweet, kindhearted person. Sure she’s singing his praises and in her new heavenly body. God bless each of her family and friends.
Gail, I am so sorry, for your lost of a love one in your life, and it was hard to let her go! I pray for you and God dose hear and answer prayers, but I think he had a time for your sister, which he does for all of us. God can do miracles in our lives and I know He will make a way for your family and Elaine’s family to cope with the lost. Life has to go on.
I will always remember Elaine growing up as a kind sweet and very pleasant person. My prayers to her family at this very difficult time. Keep your memories close to your heart.
2 Timothy 47 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. That’s you, Elaine. Strong and determined to face this until the end. And that’s what you did. And now, you’re reaping your reward. You possessed a graceful strength that only our Father could have given you. You were and still are a walking testimony of His love and mercy. You’re Home, Elaine, and one day, we will see you again. Larry, we love you!

Elaine was such a sweet person. She was always so happy and cheerful. I will always remember her warm loving smile. May the love of family and friends comfort you during this sad time.
I taught with Elaine 2011-12 at Southern Nash High School. She and I bonded. She never seemed so be stressed; she always had a smile on her face no matter what. She will be missed by students, teachers, and everyone who knew her. Rest in Paradise Elaine.
RIP Mrs. Stancil, you were a great mentor to me and its was because of you I got over my fear of public speaking, and know how to type in the proper way. You were a great and fun teacher and I am truly blessed that I got to be tough by you at Coopers Elementary School. Heaven truly gained a beautiful angle, I send my prayers to the family. RIP Beautiful Angle.
Prayers, for the Stancil family.
