In Loving Memory of Betty Henry Ellis

My name is Derrick Ellis, and on January 3, 2026, I lost my beloved wife, Betty Henry Ellis, after a long and courageous fight with illness. Betty and I were best friends for over 27 years, and we were blessed to share 18 years of marriage. She was—and will always be—the love of my life.

Betty had a heart made for caring. She dedicated most of her life to child care, pouring her love, patience, and joy into every child she worked with. Her kindness touched countless families, and her spirit lives on in every life she helped shape.

As I navigate this painful time, I am reaching out for support with Betty’s end‑of‑life expenses. Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and will help me honor her memory with the dignity she deserves.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Derrick Ellis
