Shirley Ellison Obituary

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Harold Woodrow "Woody" Ellison; two brothers, Franklin and George Reppo; and three sisters, Melvia Steed, Zadie Carpenter, and Betty Veazey. Shirley lived her life out loud. She certainly knew how to have fun, whether it be with a dobber and a bingo card, a slot machine, or watching the horses run. She loved her family and brought much life and laughter to their get-togethers. She will be greatly missed by anyone fortunate enough to love and be loved by her. She is survived by one son, Harold Eugene Ellison (Kayla); daughter Pam George (Danny); Sandy Baka (John); and stepdaughter, Loretta Meeks; grandchildren Tony, Andrew, Daniel, Amanda, Blake Aaron "Aarion," Shelby, and Sarah; ten great-grandchildren, her beloved canine companion "Fancy," as well as nieces, nephews, extended family members and a host of wonderful friends. Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 PM on Monday, May 7, 2018 at Davis-Smith Funeral Home, Hot Springs with Pastor David Carpenter officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to service. Interment will be in Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Hot Springs. Pallbearers will be grandsons Tony, Andrew, Daniel, Blake, Aaron, and Shelby. Honorary pallbearer will be nephew Chuck Veazey. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Divers, Dr. Oxner, and the staff of Genesis Cancer Treatment Center, as well as the staff of Arkansas Hospice for their compassionate care. Arrangements are under the direction of Davis-Smith Funeral Home, Hot Springs. Guest registry is at www.davis-smith.com
