Momma Ellen was the most lively loving fashion forward woman I've ever met. I'm going to miss hearing about her adventures with her girls, getting updates on the new house and soaking up her wisdom. She made me feel like family the moment I met her. Momma Ellen you will truly be missed. I wish you got a chance to meet Teigan in person. She'd love you!
I love you Momma Ellen and will miss you!

My sincerest condolences and prayers for the family during this time of bereavement. Mrs. Ellen as I affectionately called her was such a polished woman. I loved her poise and tenacity. Her spunk was so much to be desired. We had a special bond in my short time of knowing her. She will be remembered graciously in my heart. Sending hugs and love to you all.

Hillery and Pettigrew Family,

My sincerest sympathy on the loss of Mrs. Hillery. I was so blessed to meet her via Debbie and I just fell in love with her smile, generous spirit and big heart. She was very special to me and always had an inspirational word or song for me even as she was going through her own journey.

Thank you for sharing Mrs. Hillery with us!

I send all my love to you and family. Ms.Hillery was a woman I could sit and talk to if you ask me I was not her nurse and she was not my patient more like a mother; someone that pushed me to continue to do what I was doing she push me because I love to be with her I'm warm hearted but I thank God I was able to be apart of Ms.Hillerys' life ❤❤❤
