Estelle Jones Scholarships

Estelle Jones, born and raised in South Carolina, often talked of how she wished she had gone to nursing school or college.  She spent her life working with various families as a housekeeper, a cook and a nanny.  When she died, Peter Elbow, a man she helped raise from the time he was a baby, established the Estelle Jones Memorial Scholarship Fund in her memory.
