MARY FRANCES ELLISOR Mary Frances Ellisor left this world peacefully to be with her Heavenly Father on May 17, 2010 after a brief but courageous battle with MDS.

She will be dearly missed by grandchildren Derl Ellisor and wife Stephanie, Stacy McCann and husband Scott, Christopher Cook, Jeffrey Cook and Sara Beth Ellisor-Kutscher and husband Paul. Her five great-grand children, Stephany, Sarah and Sierra McCann and McKailah and Jordan Ellisor brought her much joy. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.
