Ellen and James added so much to our Eastern Star meetings when they were able to come. I always enjoyed having her at Kensett Ingram-Watkins Chapter. She will be missed. She was a very sweet person.
Ellen Marie's father was a brother to my grandmother, Nancy Ellen Canamore Johnston. I admired Ellen Marie so much for all the work she did to better our lives as in seeing to it that public bldgs. were accessible for the handicapped. Heaven will be blessed that she is there.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I will miss Ms. Ellen!!!
Our thoughts and prayers for you Mrs. Pat and family during this time. May God give you comfort and strength.
Shane, Bridget and Ava Crockett
