Dear Rivers family – I knew Elene when she lived in Ellijay, and I worked at the Gilmer County Library for many years. She was a regular patron, and such a sweet, kind and gracious lady. I still remember all her “cat” themed shirts and bags.. I enjoyed knowing her. Glenda Garland, Ellijay GA

I would like to send my condolences to the family. I met Elene when she played her keyboard for a wedding in Ellijay. My husband and I had her play at ours a few months later. Elene and I were involved in a couple of local organizations and she taught my son piano for a few years. I was very fond of her and I know she will be missed.

I am Elene Rivers twin sister, Jolene J. Marshall…..I want to send love and deepest sympathy to the family….being twins we had a unique and very close bond….even though we lived miles apart we were still close….I am soooo sorry I cannot be there for the service but you know you have my deepest sympathy and love…Jolene J. Marshall
