Ellen Lane McPherson passed peacefully into the presence of her Lord on Tuesday, November 10, 2015. Born in Benton Illinois May 10, 1916 into the family of Stella May & Van Lane. Married to Ralph Bert McPherson May 29, 1933 in Harrisburg Illinois by Rev. William Harr. A talented and industrious woman she managed her household, made clothes for herself and her children, and did hairdressing in her basement until her family was grown and she moved to Florida. After living on her own for a number of years she moved into the Alliance Community in Deland, Florida, where she went to be with her Lord. Although at ninety nine years old and infirmed, she still retained her vibrant, loving Christian spirit and was a prayer warrior to the end. She was a charter member of the Deltona Alliance Church in Deltona, Florida. Next to the Lord, her family came first. Her faithful love and constant prayers will be very much missed.
Ellen was predeceased by three sisters: Alice Wilson, Edith Ray, and Beulah Sullivan. One brother, Amos Lane. One grandson Steven Byerly. Surviving are two Children: Ronald Dean of Debary, Florida and Carol McPherson Byerly of Rutledge, Georgia; grandchildren, Cindy (Mitch) Thompson and David (Kathy) Byerly; 7 great grandchildren; 8 great great grandchildren.
