When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll,

Whatever my lot, THOU has taught me to say;

It is well, it is well with my soul.

The Austin Family officially announces

The Obsequies for

Our Matriarch

Beloved Mother, Saint of God and Angel Voice

Mrs. Elva Austin

With tremendous sorrow, we bow to the will of our Heavenly Father as we humbly announce the unforeseen, yet

triumphant journey of our beloved Mother, Mrs. Elva Austin.

This beloved saint of God closed her eyes on this side of Jordon's River and returned back to God's garden of peace. For we don't weep as those who do not have hope,

but rejoice that she has now received her reward with her loving family at her side. We, the Bynes-Royall Funeral Home Family and Staff along with the Austin Family request your prayers at this time.

Her beloved family would like to thank everyone for the various acts of kindness extended to them.

She Shall Lay in Repose: 3:00 P.M. ~ 6:00 P.M., Friday March 6, 2026 at Frank H. & Frenchye M. Bynes Memorial Chapel.

Celebration of Life Services will be held 1:00 P.M. March 7, 2026, in the Sanctuary of Mt. Zion Baptist Church 1008 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Savannah Georgia 31415
