Not sure what to say?

I know that Ellen was a great woman of faith who loved the Lord with all her heart and she lovingly passed that onto so many of us women: We were young once; and we had lessons to be learned, regarding home, and husbands and children, and God put someone very special into our lives to teach us.
Ellen was wonderful and strong and dignified in all that she did, and her wisdom and soft tender heart never failed any of us. She could see things more clearly than we did, but she made us see...

The Richardson kids adopted Aunt Ellen and Uncle Bud as their own. Their love and kindness were just a few of the lessons I learned while growing up in the Evangel Church.

We were saddened to hear that Ellen went Home to be with the Lord, because we know she will be missed by her Children, and Grandchildren. I know her Great Grandchildren will someday wish they had know her. The rest of us will miss her too. She was a great lady. She was involved in whatever the Lord called her to do and did it well. September won't be the same for me without being able to say, Happy Birthday Ellen". I remember back to the Ladies' Missionary Group and the September ladies...

Mrs Heath is true servant who influenced generations of people, especially those of us who called Evangel Baptist "home". She is in Glory and while she will be missed, her memory and influence is etched in so many of our lives.

Win and I have wonderful memories of Ellen. She was, hands down, the best organ accompanist I've ever known. [Of course, she was so much more than that]. If there is a pipe organ in heaven, I can almost imagine her pounding out the tune to, "Majesty! Worship His majesty! Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and praise!" Our hearts go out to all of her dear loved ones, who are experiencing the grief that can accompany such a sense of loss. May God be pleased to grace you with a special awareness of...

I worked with Mrs Heath at the Money Store for ten years, what a wonderful person.

We met Ellen and Bud at Evangel Baptist Church in the late '60s. They were both loving and faithful folks and will always be remembered by so many of us. She always had words of encouragement and I enjoyed our email messages until she could not type them anymore. She now is with Bud, her parents, and so many other loved ones and best of all "She is with the King." We will all be together again and how wonderful that will be. Gloria and Bob Ryniak

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. She was a special lady and I know will be greatly missed. God bless you all.

What can I say, but that the woman was amazing. She could...and did...play anything that was put in front of her, and was a "rock" at the Evangel Organ and Piano for as far back as I can remember. She accompanied for my first horn solo at age ten, and dozens after that. Her discipline and commitment were exemplary. My deepest thoughts and prayers for the Heath children, and family.
