Ella Faye Knight

of Clinton, AR

April 17, 1927 - August 5, 2016

Ella Faye Knight, age 89 of Clinton, Arkansas passed from this life on Friday, August 5th, 2016 at Salem Place Nursing and Rehab in Conway, Arkansas. She was born in Flag, Arkansas on April 17th, 1927 to Lee Ramsey and Opal (Cunningham) Ramsey.

In younger years, Ella and her family owned and operated the Flag General Store and Post Office. Ella worked in and ran the store for her family until she graduated from Leslie High School. Ella was very proud of her roots and no matter where her travels took her, Flag and Leslie were always home. She moved away for awhile to marry and begin her family but moved back to Leslie to raise her children. Ella worked many jobs after leaving the General Store including working in drugstores, the shirt factory and various merchandising and manufacturing jobs but she finally found her true calling in the nursing field. She worked for many years with the Van Buren County Health Department until her retirement in the early ninety's. In later years, Ella enjoyed going to flea markets and rummage sales and talking over old times with her family and friends.

Ella is preceded in death by her parents; her children, Shirley Begley and Larry Noble; and brothers, Will Ramsey and Eulean Ramsey.

Survivors include her grandchildren, Crystal (Ed) Sawyer of Sherwood, Christian Noble of San Diego, CA, Kyle Noble of Cameron, OK, Jordan Noble, also of Cameron, OK, Angel (Tony) Newman of Greenwood and Patricia (Daniel) McKeehan; and great-grandchildren, Justin Sawyer, Wade Sawyer, Ella Faye Noble, Brynlee Noble, Meya Noble, Ellison Noble, John Newman, Zakkery Helms, Tyler Newman, Wyatt Whitfield, Austin McKeehan and Katelyn McKeehan.

Funeral services for Ella will be 2:00 PM Tuesday, August 9th, 2016 at Roller-Coffman Funeral Home in Marshall, Arkansas. Visitation will be 1:00 PM preceding the service. Burial will be in Harness Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Justin Sawyer, Wade Sawyer, Christian Noble, Kyle Noble, Jordan Noble and Ed Sawyer. Honorary pallbearers will be Mitchell Begley and Daniel McKeehan.

Ella was my grandmother and I am so fortunate to say that! Her spirit was so pure and her love was so strong. She was a caregiver and she loved all her patients as her own family. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
