Sue "Mema" Bartlett of Oxford, age 93, passed away Friday, February 1, 2019. Mrs. Bartlett was many things: a loving woman who enjoyed spending time with family, especially her grandchildren; a hard worker who took immense pride in providing for and supporting her loved ones (she sold Avon for over forty years); and a spirited and caring mother and grandmother who lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed going out to eat with family, sitting on her back porch and bird-watching, and was known for giving visitors a task to do whenever they stopped by the house. Mrs. Bartlett was preceded in death by her first husband, Bob Ellis; second husband, John Henry Bartlett; son, Rickie Ellis; parents, Ernie and Rosie (Thompson) Johnson; sister, Mary Lou Ellis; and brother, Ernest Johnson.
Survivors include her daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and Jimmy Ward; sons and daughters-in-law, Wayne and Martha Ellis, Danny and Gay Ellis, all of Oxford; 9 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; 13 great-great-grandchildren; sister, Mildred Hawk of Covington; as well as several nieces and nephews.
