Elaine was born in Leland, Mississippi and was preceded in death by her father and mother, Emmett Alton Bates and Bess Applewhite. She was the widow of Dr. Edward R Hipp Jr, her husband of 57 years and is survived by her daughter, Jean H. Bellow and husband Paul of Cypress, TX and her sons, Edward R Hipp III and wife Pinky of Smithfield, VA and Emmet Hipp and wife Sheri of Fort Mill SC, as well as by six grandchildren.
A true Southern lady, Elaine was elected Miss Leland of 1941, attended Stephens College in Columbia, MO and graduated from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill with a major in political science and a minor in Spanish. An avid bridge player and voracious reader, Elaine had a zest for life and will be remembered for her sense of humor, love of animals, and kindness to everyone around her.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 21 at 11:00 in the chapel at Southminster with a private internment ceremony at Christ Church’s Memorial Garden to follow.
