Martha was my co-worker and mentor-in-life at Evangel for many years. She helped me spiritually in one of my darkest times. She found and gave joy to all people in all circumstances. She exampled out what a true teacher should be: concerned and helpful to all areas of students’ lives. She’ll always remain ONE OF THE GREAT ONES in my view. God bless all of her loved ones.

Martha Watson Ellis was my sophomore English teacher at First Baptist High in 1971-72. She was remarkable, bringing life to literature every day. It was her class that convinced me to major in English and become an English teacher. I also taught sophomores in Caddo Parish and retired in 2008, using many of her shared lesson plans through the years. She was a born teacher. I last saw her at Barnes and Nobel where I bought her travel book. I am saddened by her loss and pray God’s comfort...
