Ms Ellen, as I´ve fondly called her for years at Trinity. I remember visiting her house with my parents on Sunday evening after church. She was a faithful member at Trinity. I pray for comfort and strength for the family!

So sorry to hear about the passing of Ellen. I do extend condolences to her family. I've known her for many years...since 1965! I know she will be missed and I will pray for comfort for her family.

My sincere condolences to the family. I remember Miss Ellen as a child growing up at the Trinity Baptist Church. I would often visit her on Sunday afternoons with my parents.

Ms. Ruffin meant a great deal to our family. She welcomed us with open arms when we joined Trinity 15 years ago and we could count on seeing her smiling face at 8am service each Sunday morning. She always greeted us with a smile and a hug. She had such a sweet spirit. We will truly miss her and would like to extend our condolences to her family during this difficult time. May God bless you.

Ellen was an extended member of our family for over 50 years as well as a Church Family Member. We shared many Thanksgiving dinners and Church Trips together! Ellen will surely be missed in the Narthex of the church on Sunday mornings, collecting information for the church calendars! Rest in Peace "Cakes"!
