Her transition leaves a huge hole in the Council of Elders among Black Preaching Women. Plans for her Homegoing Celebration are as follows: The Wake will be on Monday, December 1 at 6:00pm beginning with the Delta Sigma Theta Omega Omega ceremony. And the funeral will be on Tuesday, December 2nd at 11:00 a.m. Both services will be held in the Horizon Sanctuary of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. GA.

She has certianly been an inspiration for me. When The Mitchells arrived at the School of Theology at Virginia Union University I was in my first year of studies. Ella had a way of making the scriptures come alive as she read from the Word of God. The halls of academic have been made hollowed by her steps and await God's filling of the void that has been made. I thank God for her and pray for Henry, as he prepares to depart from this journey, which began so long ago with Ella at his side.

The halls of academic have been made hollowed by her steps and await God’s filling of the void that has been made. I thank God for her and pray for Henry, as he prepares to depart from this journey, which began so long ago with Ella at his side.
