Henrietta

Elliott

On March 24, 1942 in Sheldon, SC, God blessed Paul and Earnestine Chisolm with their fourth child of nine children and second daughter, Henrietta. Henrietta's favorite scripture was "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," Philippians 4:13. The Lord continued to strengthen her through her many illnesses and called his daughter Henrietta home to be with him on Saturday, March, 7, 2015. She is now free from pain and reunited with loved ones that went on before her. Henrietta grew up in Beaufort, SC and graduated from Robert Smalls High School. She moved to New York at the age of 18 and worked various jobs in the Health Care Field and retired from Bergen County Intermediate Care Facility in New Jersey in June 2000. She was married to James Elliott on April 17, 1965 and this union was blessed with two children, James, Jr. and Tonya. The family lived in New York for many years and moved to Teaneck, NJ in 1975. Henrietta was raised in a Christian home and accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at an early age and joined Canaan Missionary Baptist Church in Sheldon, SC. She joined First Baptist Church of Englewood in the early nineties where she was a loved and faithful member and an active and dedicated member of the Altar Guild, First Baptist Seniors and the Women's Fellowship Ministry. She was also active in her community as a member of the Senior Happenings group and AARP. She enjoyed traveling and did so whenever she could.
