With a very heartfelt sadness of Tia Marie Ellie passing, I have beautiful memories of years knowing her! I was a teenager when Tio Jr brought her with the news they had gotten married! Spending my childhood with grandma, I was there with them for so many special memorial days. All these memories will forever be in my heart and will take them with me! Love you Tia Marie Ellie, till we see each other again 😭💔💓

The true loss of a Lady and Matriarch. To me, She was a great person and role model, she taught me about grace, kindness, and honor. She always treated me with love and kindness. I wish I could have stayed in her orbit, but alas time moves everyone forward and in different pathways. To the family I sympathize with your loss and offer my families deepest condolences. May God embrace her with his holiness and grace upon her entry into heaven. Amen.
