В Атланте улицу назвали в честь жительницы, дожившей до ста лет

Augusta street named after woman who lived to be 100 AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A local street has been dedicated in honor of Augusta resident Mattie Mae Ellison, celebrating her lasting legacy and impact on the community. Ellison lived to be 100 years old and was a member of Jordan Grove Baptist Church for 85 years. During the ceremony, family members gathered to share memories of Ellison’s life and her deep connection to the neighborhood. “You could always just count on her, you know. And I thank God for her and for her presence,” said Clarence Williams, Ellison’s son-in-law. “And I thank Augusta for dedicating the street in her name.” Williams added that Ellison’s greatest achievement was her profound effect on other people, particularly her unique ability to love others and teach those around her to do the same. Williams described Ellison as “someone you can always depend on” and noting that she shared “a love that you can’t even quite put in words.” Copyright 2026 WRDW/WAGT. All rights reserved.
