Dr. Shirley R. Ellis

Shirley and Wayne rented their first place to live from my parents. I was so envious of their red fast back Mustang.

I was sorry to learn about Shirley's death. I remember when she and Wayne moved into my parent's apartment in Hampton. My paarents followed her career and were as proud of her accomplishments as if she was a family member. They were a lovely young couple.

This saddens me so much. Dr. Ellis was one of the greatest principals I ever had. I was privileged beyond measure to know her and be part of her adventure as a principal at Hampton High. She showed so much love to us students. I was going through one of the toughest times of my entire life and she would pull me into her office and talk to me about it, she helped through a lot more than she will ever know. Prayers for all of her family, I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew...

I´m so sorry to hear of Shirley´s passing. I loved working with her. She was definitely a leader and expected any employee to give 100%, which was not asking too much. Your family is in my prayers. Carter County had lost a great leader.
