She was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church for more than 60 years. She graduated from Central High School in 1947 and retired from Goudchaux’s Department Store Credit Office. Olive loved cooking for friends, neighbors, and family. She loved to fish and was a die-hard fan of LSU baseball. She was always writing and wrote several articles about events and growing up in Central for Central City News. The articles she was most proud of were “Growing up and Growing Old in Central” and “Christmas Then and Now.” The latter was a tribute to her mother, Vada Mullins, who worked so hard to raise 6 children alone.

Ellis and her husband George Ellis; her brother Thomas M. Mullins, Jr. and his wife Paula Mullins. She is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Cecil Campbell; parents Thomas M.
