Aileen R. Ellison



Services for longtime Claremore resident, Aileen R. Ellison will be 10 a.m. 
Thursday, March 28, 2002 at the First Assembly of God Church with her pastor, 
Rev. Curtis Owens officiating. Burial will follow at Walnut Grove Cemetery, 
Ava., Mo., under the direction of Rice Funeral Service. Friends may visit until 
8 p.m. today at the funeral home. Aileen passed away on Tuesday, March 26, 2002. 
She was 80.

Born in Rome, Mo., to Luther and Della Osborn Huffman on Dec. 5, 1921, Aileen 
was reared and educated in and around her birth community. Soon after her years 
at Ava High School, Aileen and Elbert Franklin married. Their wedding ceremony 
was Aug. 24, 1940 at Smackout, Mo. Four children were born to this union: Larry, 
Shirley, Dianna and Anita. Seymour, Mo. was home for the Franklin family through 
the years.

When she left Seymour, Aileen made her home in Springfield and it was here that 
she became reacquainted with a former Rome, Mo., resident, and, after a time of 
courtship, Aileen and Mack Ellison were married in 1970. So both of these former 
Missourians enjoyed their home in Claremore on Mack's farm in the Blue Creek 
area. After Mack passed away in 1977, Aileen continued making her home at the 
farm until 1998 when she moved into town, where she resided until her health 
made it necessary for her to take advantage of nursing home facilities. Tulsa 
was chosen to allow her to be nearer her family.

Friendly and outgoing, Aileen enjoyed people, particularly her treasured family. 
She was active in her church and at the senior center where she had many 
friends.

Aileen is survived by her daughters, Dianna Spradling of Lebanon, Mo., and Anita 
Franklin of Tulsa; eight grandchildren; 10 great-granchildren, including Stormy 
Ross, born on Sunday, March 24, 2002; two great-great-grandchildren; and sister, 
Ruth Mitchell of Seymour, Mo. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, 
Mack; son, Larry, and daughter, Shirley; two brothers; two grandsons; and 
special friend, Jack Williamson.
Those wishing to honor Aileen's memory may do so by contributing to the First 
Assembly of God Building Fund, P.O. Box 56, Claremore OK 74018.
