She was the daughter of the late Harvey and Daisy Haught. Elva was a devoted wife of Argil O. Brohard, whom she married on Sept. 23, 1937. Together they owned and operated different general stores, they also worked as contractors for Sears for a number of years. She also worked at Cairo Garment Factory and B.F. Goodrich in Grantsville. Elva spent most of her years doing what she enjoyed the most, being a loving Christian wife, sister, mother, grandmother and friend. She touched many lives with her loving disposition and precious smile. She always knew how to smile even through adversity. She presently lived in Vienna with her daughter, Marjorie, but lived most of her life in the Brohard and MacFarlan, W.Va., area. For many years, she was the secretary treasurer for the Straight Creek Baptist Church in Brohard. She presently attended Calvary Memorial Church in Parkersburg.
