Ellen Rawls Hodge was born on April 11, 1947 in Statesboro, Georgia to the late George (Buddy) and Rosa Lee Rawls. She was a native of Bulloch County, Georgia but lived her latter years in Clermont, Florida. On January 31, 2023, God called her from labor to reward. “Servant of God well done, rest from thy love employ the battled fought, the victory won, enter thy master’s joy.” Ellen was greatly loved by so many and will be missed.
Ellen was preceded in death by two sisters, Thelma Lee Melvin and Rozena Jacobs and one brother George Rawls, Jr.
Ellen leaves to cherish her memories a caring and devoted family including: her husband Harry Hodge, Jr. of Brooklet, GA; one son Jimmy Watts (Tina) and one grandson Darrius Watts of Clermont, Florida; four brothers Rufus Rawls (Rosa Mae), Curtis Rawls (Gerri), and Eugene Rawls of Statesboro, Georgia, and Randy Rawls (Evelyn) of Savannah, Georgia, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. II Timothy 4:7-8
