James R. Ellis 
June 19, 1924 - Dec. 28, 2005 

Services will be held Saturday, December 31st, 2005, 10:00 a.m., at Stine Road 
Baptist Church. Jim Ellis was born in Pleasanton, Kansas, to parents, Claude 
and Alma Ellis, and was the eldest child of a large family of four brothers 
and two sisters. Jim met Bowden at a boarding house in Wichita, KS. They 
married five months later on March 27, 1943. Their marriage has always been 
filled with love and laughter, as everyone who knows them will agree. Jim 
served in the United States Navy in WWII aboard the aircraft carrier, USS 
White Plains in the Pacific. They celebrated their 61st anniversary, before 
the love of his life preceded him in death on April 19, 2004. Jim was an 
active member of the Stine Road Baptist Church. Jim will always be remembered 
as a loving Christian husband, father, and friend who always knew the perfect 
thing to do and say in his quiet way. The family has been truly blessed by the 
friendships made as a result of this ministry. Jim is survived by three 
children, daughter, Sharon and husband, Jerry Gollehon of Bakersfield; son, 
Kenneth and wife, Pam of Fairview, OK; and son, Kevin and wife, Nancy of 
Magnolia, TX; sister, Vera Hall; brother, Tom Ellis and wife, Theresa; sisters-

grandchildren and seven wonderful great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and 
nephews. Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Alma Ellis;

Cecil Hall.
