    Elaine Mattie Stith

    September 19, 1951 - April 15, 2021

    Our beloved Mother, Elaine Mattie Stith, departed this life at 12:40 p.m. on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at Christian Hospital Northeast in Saint Louis, Missouri, being blessed with sixty-nine years. Elaine was born on September 19, 1951 in Saint Louis, Missouri to the union of Augustus and Claudia Stith. She was the only child. She grew up attending church at Calvary M.B. Church under the pastorate of Reverend I.T. Moore and later under the late Rev. Ronal C. Bridewell. She attended Saint Louis Public School District and was a graduate of Sumner High School. Elaine went on to attend Stowe Teachers College to become a teacher. In late December 1989, she received her Masters in Education. She also was a Social Worker for some time. She was an art teacher for Wellston School District and later with Saint Louis Public School District. Elaine was blessed with two children whom she loved with all her heart. Elaine was an optimistic woman with a heart of gold. Teaching was something she loved because she wanted to enrich the minds of children. Her former students always stayed in touch with her. She was an avid Photographer and Painter. She always loved classic movies and interior decoration. Music was a part of her life. She played the clarinet at her high school marching band. She loved R&B, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Gospel and easy listening. She leaves to mourn: her loving devoted daughter ~ Maia Stith; one son ~ Claude James; her first cousins ~ Mary, Barbara, Cornell, Ingomar, Milton, Jr., Wilbert, Ray and Leo; her second cousins ~ Tony, Christine and Donny; and other friends and relatives.
