She a would call me darlin,  one summer ya'll drove to Little  Rock, Arkansas  and one summer my dad drove us to Ashland. She was a great  lady and will be greatly  missed. Mymom's name was Gene Twitty Stinson from Allsboro Alabama.
God Bless



Beth and Jim,
Your mother was the sweetest woman I have ever known. I loved her dearly.  She and I and Jackie Born and Jane McAlexander had such a great time at our high tea in Ladysmith before the virus locked everyone down. Wish we could have done it again.

So many wonderful memories to share of this beautiful lady. She and Dr. Ellis were so gracious to invite my parents to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary in their home with a wonderful dinner. Daddy was too ill for an outing or public celebration but Betty, being the great hostess she was, made it a lovely event. Forever grateful.

Mrs. Ellis was a wonderful example as a Christian leader and as a partner to the pastor.  She was always sweet and kind.  I hold fond memories of FBC-Ashland because of Dr. and Mrs. Ellis. I am very saddened by the loss of a very strong woman of God. Sending my prayers to the family...

I visited Mrs. Ellis as often as I could on Stebbins Street and several times at The Manor until Covid closed their doors to visitors.  
Mrs. Ellis was always gracious, warm and the very epitome of Southern charm.  
She deeply mourned the passing of her husband,  “James “ and said that after his death, she felt she had lost a part of her own body.  
I loved to hear her stories of growing up on a farm and the memories she made there.  
She and her sister would stand on stools at the kitchen sink and wash the dishes after every meal.   She insisted that they had fun together and didn’t mind the task at all.  She chuckled recalling her sister milking the family’s cow while she watched intently on a little stool.  Then, the exciting rite of passage came and her own first attempt at milking ended with her sister being squirted in the face!
Mrs. Ellis always put her needs after the needs of others.  She was a good listener and consoler for me and I’m sure for other people as well.  
She was proud of her children and grandchildren but the focus, joy and love that
was her compass in life was her husband, “James”.   I will miss her calling me “Darlin” and “Precious”.  Truth be told, Mrs. Betty Ellis was the most “precious “ and  “darlin”” lady that  I have ever known.
It saddens me that I will miss her here on earth but she and her beloved husband are together with their Heavenly Father.  Praise be to God.  Rest In Peace and thank you for loving me.

To the Ellis Family.
My prayers  are with yall at this difficult time.  Mrs Ellis was the sweetest lady, so kind and a gentle  like my grandmother  & mother  who she love dearly.  We will miss her and now she had earn her wings to be with God & her husband.  May God give you strength and  comfort  .

Betty’s life was an inspirational one and being with her brought such joy to so many people including me.  I will miss seeing her but have no doubt that she is in heaven

Beth, Jim and the  Ellis family we were saddened to hear about Mrs. Ellis  passing. She was a wonderful, beautiful and pleasant woman to know and to visit. She will  remain in our hearts as a family member. She loved us and we loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.  God bless.
