Elenora Sellers Watkins was born December 11, 1918 to her parents, (the late) James Butler Sellers and (the late) Emma Oliver Sellers in the town of Highland, Texas. After nearly a century of being blessed on this side of heaven and the last surviving sibling, the Lord called her home on Friday, June 29, 2018 at Trisun Care Center, El Paso, Texas.
Elenora’s early life and education was within Highland, Texas. This town would later be renamed Marlin, Texas, where she met and married (the late) Thomas Watkins. To their union two children were born, (the late) Willie Albert and Edward.
After many years living in Marlin, Texas, Elenora relocated her family to El Paso, Texas where she served as a Sunday School Piano Teacher and obtained work as a dietary aide at Thomason General Hospital. Elenora’s much later travels would take her to reside in Tallahassee, Florida where she enjoyed the company of her niece, Patricia A. Johnson and family. Elenora continued to live in Tallahassee, Florida until she and Patricia decided to relocate back to El Paso, Texas in September 2017.
Elenora is preceded in death by her parents, her spouse, her eldest son and siblings. She leaves to cherish her memories, a son, Edward Watkins; her nieces and nephews; cousins and host of other relatives and friends.
