It is doubly sweet at the close of a well spent life to turn one's face toward sunset and quietly sink into the rest that knows no waking except in the presence of God. A beautiful soul began her earthly journey on November 24th, 1954. Peace and sweet rest came to Eloise on Resurrection Day the ninth day of April 2023.

Her parents, the late Colon and Nadine Jones Mann were a blessing from start to finish paving the way for her and her siblings, preparing them for this life.

Eloise confessed Christ at an early age, and joined Jones Chapel M.B. Church where she actively served as an Usher until her health began to decline. She attended Murphy High School and was a matron of the Eastern Stars.

In the same year she married the love of her life Edra Lee Bloodsaw, and to this union three children (Teshia, Maria, and Terrence) were born. Eloise was family oriented, a faithful and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.

Her children described her to have a strong Christian life; she was God-fearing and God-loving and she was definitely the family "glue".

Proceeding her in death are her loving parents Colon and Nadine Mann, her siblings, Jimmy, Ned, Willie, Billy, and Linda.

Leaving to treasure her external memories are her husband of fifty years Edra Lee her children; Teshia (Thomas), Maria, and Terrence (Tamika). Her ten grandchildren; Jakeevin, Thomas, JerMichael, LeCharlie, Orlandrious, JaQuayla, Tamia, Nitijah, Janiya, and Bryce. Six great grandchildren; Morgan, Akius, Kaiden, Lucy, Nova, and Maeleni. Two sisters, Annie Gray (John) and Debra Henson (Charles). She also leaves to treasure four sisters-in-law; Birdie Mann, Bobbie Mann, Marvis Mann, an Marvin Searcy. And a host of nieces, nephew, cousins and friends.

Eloise will always be remembered in the lives of those she touched.
