As the Lord led, she married a pastor, and together they served faithfully throughout their mission field. She also worked as a substitute teacher for many years.

Ellarie loved her family with all her heart, and caring for them brought her great joy. She especially enjoyed cooking large meals and having everyone gathered around the table, sharing laughter, telling stories, and creating memories that will be cherished for generations to come.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Rev. Eugene Thomas Wallace; her son, Ricky Wallace; her sisters, Alma Alexander and Margie Reynolds; and her grandson, Scott Wallace.

She is survived by her daughter, Rhonda Sumner (Dwayne); her son, Phillip Wallace (Deborah); her brother, Estil Hounshell; her grandchildren, Kelly Starner, Ricky Darren Wallace, Tim Wallace, Kayla Lewis, Brandon Sumner, and Mariah Dodd; eight great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
