Elouise Nix Jordan of Ellisville, MS stepped into the presence of her Heavenly Father who faithfully took care of her for 99 years and into the arms of her earthly father and mother on November 8, 2021. She was born in Mooringsport, LA on February 11, 1922, to Addison D. Nix and Iantha Jordan Nix. She and her four siblings were raised by her paternal grandparents. Elouise is finally reunited with her parents after tragically losing them in a car accident at age 10. She graduated from Jones County Agricultural High School and Junior College in 1940. Married to Charles E. Jordan for 62 years, they lived in Laurel, MS for 25 years and were members of Wildwood Baptist Church before returning to Ellisville, MS to live in the Jordan homeplace and attend First Baptist Church of Ellisville. Tending her flowerbeds was a shared pastime for Elouise and Charles. She loved her faithful Heavenly Father, her dear family, and her beautiful flowers. She enjoyed baking caramel cakes, crocheting, and quilting with friends. We celebrate her long life and loving legacy. As she was fond of saying, "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck."

She is preceded in death by her parents, Addison D. Nix, and Iantha Jordan Nix; her husband, Charles E. Jordan; her sisters, Clara Pearl McIntosh (George), Katherine Parker (Marion), Doris Majure (Bob) and her brother, Addison D. Nix (Billie).
