Mary Ellington

From 6/5/14

Not many people would have recognized how special Miss Mary Ellington was in her teaching career. We thought she was teaching verbs and nouns, but oh, she was doing so much more. She was preparing young students for greatness. Three of the most outstanding people that I have known give Miss Ellington credit for her assistance and financial support in getting a college education.In different places I heard firsthand about two mill town boys and a Snellville youngster that gave Miss Ellington credit for their opportunities. General Larry Capps headed up the Patriot Missile Program and later was Chief Executive for the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. Dr. Marshal Edwards became one of the countries great Baptist ministers, and Dr. J Y Jones whose surgery talents have restored eyesight to literally thousands of underprivileged people all give Miss Ellington much credit for their success. I wonder how many others are out there that are thankful to Miss Ellington for her support?
