Elaine Coxworth, 84, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, died peacefully at Hearthstone Personal Care Community on Sunday, February 6th, 2022. She was born December 20th, 1937, in Watseka, IL, to Walter & Ester Johnson. She is survived by her husband, David Ross Coxworth, and her 3 sons and daughters-in-law, Doug & Kerry Coxworth, Dean & Kathy Coxworth, Darryl & Lisa Coxworth, and her brother Walter Johnson Jr. Elaine has seven grandchildren: Cameron & Cody Adler, Travis Coxworth, Alex Coxworth, Madison Coxworth, Blake Coxworth, Caroline Coxworth, and Caitlin Coxworth.
Elaine’s passion was a deep love and support of family, friends, and her Christian beliefs. She never met a stranger and was always up for a social gathering. Photos had to be taken to remember every moment. She met her husband while he was serving in the armed forces. For 63 years she was always by his side and celebrated special occasions. She loved to support her sons and grandchildren in all sports and every special occasion no matter how insignificant. Her contagious laughter and sense of humor entertained all.
Among Elaine’s accomplishments, she taught Kindergarten, was a church Pianist, and an active Beta Sigma Phi Sorority Sister. She enjoyed cooking, playing the piano, playing cards, and activities with her church and sorority friends. She volunteered her time playing the piano and helping residents at Grace Arbor.
In her final years, her health became an issue. She stayed positive and hopeful. The amazing strength in her perseverance to continue fighting inspired all who knew her well.
Services celebrating her life will be held Saturday, February 19, 2022, at Wages and Sons Funeral Home in Lawrenceville, GA. Visitation will begin at 12pm, followed by a memorial service in the funeral home chapel at 1:00pm.

I’m so sorry to hear about Elaine’s passing! She was such a Sweetheart & sorority sister! Our prayers are with you, Dave & Family! We send our Love!❤️
Elaine and I have been good friends for 70+ years. I was honored to be in her wedding 63 years ago. We have had a wonderful friendship, sharing our ups and downs. It will be difficult not sharing our many wonderful phone conversations – especially on our birthdays! She was 8 days younger than me. I will miss her more than I can imagine. Rest In Peace, dear friend! My thoughts are with Dave, her sons and the entire family.
Oh my, Elaine, you were a friend to so many for so many years and will be missed by all. You were one of the first people I met when Greg and I moved to Lawrenceville. Our son,Jason, and Darryl became friends, and that friendship has lasted almost 50 years in spite of the fact they live on opposite sides of the country. You and I were in church, school, and community activities together from 1973 until we moved to Texas in 1986. You had a fun-loving, caring, honest attitude that endeared you to everyone you met. Your love of your family,home, your church and friends shone through in all you did. Your love of God, your humility, and kindness all made you the special person you were. Heaven has gained an angel, but our lives on Earth were blessed because of you! I am so grateful you were part of mine.
Johnny and I are praying for everyone who loves Mrs. Coxworth. She set a wonderful example for me as the mother of son’s. Best Boy Mom I know. Rest in Peace.
I am very saddened to hear that Ms. Elaine’s passing.
Elaine was pure hearted, very kind, God loving and very humorous lady.
May God rest her beautiful soul In Peace.
Love, Elsa????
I just noticed this announcement. Dave, you and your family have been in my prayers. I treasure the three of us playing cards, birdwatching, cooking, fixing the vacuum cleaners, playing the piano and shopping. I am so blessed serving you both. Love,
