Opal Arlena Ellis

Thank you Opal for giving me your wisdom and thoughts that helped to guide me in my life.
You were a person one could sit down for hours and talk about a variety of subjects. And sometimes they went into the wee hours of the morning.You were always gracious, kind and compassionate.
Your leadership was conducted in a quiet way. You spoke softly as you consistently framed the questions and issues of the day. All people in all walks of life learned to listen to you. And...

To all of Opals family my thoughts and prayers are with you all doing this time. She will be missed but not forgotten, she wasn't the type of woman you would forget on a good note!

Love to the family,

Darla Humdy-Johnson and family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the family of a phenomenal, strong black woman. Your mom, grandma, great grandma left a great legacy. God has plucked another beautiful rose to Glorify the Kingdom of Heaven. If any of you donot know Christ let me encourage you to get to know him as your personal Savior. God Bless you all during this time and always.

Rest in peace and god bless you.

May God Bless your family.

To my colleague and friend Brian Maupin and family my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mothers enduring spirit and envolvement in the Civil Rights Movement speakes volumes about her character and committment to transforming America into a place of equal opportunity for all.
