Dorothy Ellen Bryan

Dorothy Ellen Bryan, 81, of Newnan went to be with Our Lord on Wednesday April 30, 2025, at Corinth Road Assisted Living. She was born on September 6, 1943, in Senoia GA to the late Martin Luther Wilson and Alma Couch Wilson. In addition to her parents, she was proceeded in death by her two sisters and a brother, Bernice Quick, Reba Wilson and John W. Wilson. Ellen grew up in Senoia, GA and was a 1961 graduate of East Coweta High School. Ellen worked in several different places around Newnan such as Coweta General Hospital, William L. Bonnell, Gibsons Dept Store and some others before she landed in her position as a clerk in the City of Newnan Building Dept. It was in that position that she met so many people as they came for permits. Still to this day people all over Middle GA say I met Ellen years ago when I was working on this project or that project. She made people feel very comfortable in most cases. She always had pictures of her 4 boys on her desk and we were told she spent a lot of time bragging on us. Several people over the years have said they felt like they knew us, but we had never met. Ellen was a longtime member of what was then Digby Assembly of God church at Brooks, GA. The funeral is Monday May 5, 2025, at 2:00 at the Chapel of McKoon Funeral Home in Newnan GA, with Pastor Tim Hammett officiating. Burial will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Newnan. The visitation will be on Monday May 5, 2025, from 12:00 until 2:00 at McKoon Funeral Home, 38 Jackson St, Newnan GA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Corinth Road Assisted Living, 1141 Corinth Rd, Newnan GA 30263. Condolences can be expressed online at www.mckoon.com.
