Lella Ellis Churchill, 76, passed away Thursday May 14, 2015 at Methodist Hospital in Germantown. Born September 14, 1938, she attended Germantown High School, Western Kentucky University, and the University of Tennessee Memphis.

She was a devoted wife, loving mother, doting grandmother, and cherished friend. She enjoyed many life-long friendships over the years, and often shared with the family how thankful she was for the time they had together. She will be missed very much until we see her again. She is survived by her son David, his wife Kelly, and their children Matthew and Lauren; daughter-in-law Andreah and her son Gavin; and brothers Lee Ellis and Larry Ellis.
