Valrie Elaine Daniel , 77, of Huxley, Texas, passed away on Saturday, October 22, 2022, in Center, Texas.  She was born on May 29 ^th , 1945, in Lawton, Oklahoma.  She was better known as Nanny to her family and friends in her community.  At a very young age, she moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she would later graduate from Broadmoor High School before pursuing a degree in nursing from Northwestern State University.

Elaine then became a Nursing Home Administrator and continued working in that field up until 1997 when she purchased Scarbers Grocery in Huxley, Texas.  In 2001 she sold the store to her kids, Tammy and Tim Brown.  Elaine continued working at Scarbers until its closure, in December 2015.  Elaine cherished every customer and friend she made throughout her years working there.  Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren meant the world to her.  She also loved her grandchildren's friends as if they were her own.  Nanny's favorite thing in life was watching Austin and Bailey play their various sports while cheering them on as loudly as she could, never missing a game.  They were the light of her life.  Nanny was a wonderful, caring person that touched the hearts of many and will deeply be missed by all.
