Ethel Lucille Ellis

Ethel Ellis, of Mead, Colorado, passed away on September 11, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She left this world peacefully, wrapped in the same warmth, devotion, and gentle spirit she had given to others throughout her life.

Born in July of 1937, Ethel was known for her kind heart, loving nature, and the incredible meals she prepared, each one a reflection of the care she poured into every part of her life. Family was her world. She dedicated her life to creating a home filled with comfort, laughter, and unwavering support. Her love was steady, her presence grounding, and her generosity endless.

Ethel is survived by her sons Bradford (Carrie) Bradshaw and Eric Bradshaw, her daughter Kalei (Scott) Corrington, and her grandchildren: Nicholas (Jordan) Bradshaw, Lindsey (Tom) Mundee, Alex (Mallory) Corrington, Cody Corrington, Brandon Corrington, Dustin Corrington, Caleb Corrington, Wesley Bradshaw, Allison Corrington, and Brittani Corrington. She is also survived by her sisters, Phyllis Jewitt and Fern Meece, who shared a lifetime of memories and sisterhood with her; many great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews; and her loyal furry companion, Bailey.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband and the love of her life, Benjamin (Jack) Franklin Ellis Jr.; her son, Bryan (Wade) Bradshaw; her sisters, Verla Bartley and Frances Morsie; her brother, Charles Allison; and her granddaughter, Amber Fleming.

Ethel’s life was defined by love, the kind that showed up in every meal she cooked, every hug she gave, and every moment she spent caring for her family. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those blessed to have been loved by her.

A graveside service will be held at Macon County Memorial Cemetery in Harristown on September 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM, where family and friends will gather to honor her life, share memories, and celebrate the beautiful woman she was.
