Author Biography
Lucile Watkins Ellison, a native of Pennington, Alabama, obtained a bachelor's degree from Mississippi State College for Women (now Mississippi University for Women). Following her education, she embarked on a career as a teacher and reporter in Meridian, Mississippi. After marrying, Ellison relocated to Washington, D.C., where she worked for the National Education Association for over three decades. In the face of a cancer diagnosis in the 1970s, she channeled her experiences into writing "The Lucy stories," a collection inspired by her own family. Butter on Both Sides, her debut book, was published in 1979 shortly before her passing, while two additional works were released posthumously.
