Francis E. Ellis Sr., 71

Francis E. Ellis Sr., age 71 of Wareham, MA (formally of Plymouth), was surrounded by his loved ones when he went home to be with the Lord on March 2, 2026. He was the son of the late Everett W. Ellis and Rose M. (Mazzilli) Ellis of Carver, MA. He was preceded in death by his brothers: Edward W. Ellis and Arthur (Punkin) Ellis. He is survived by his beloved wife, Beth M. Ellis of Wareham, MA., sharing 42 years together, his brothers William (Patricia), Alan (Jane), and Richard (Teri). He is also survived by his sons: Francis Jr. (Christine), Peter, Benjamin (Selina), Brayden (Talisha), and Brent (Corinne), his six grandchildren: Cameron, Joey, Adeline, Freya, Leon, and Vincent, his two great-grandchildren: Wilder and Sage, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Francis was the proud owner of Ellis & Sons Disposal, which provided over 30 years of service to residents of Plymouth and Carver. Upon the death of his parents, he then managed the family business: Rose N Bud’s Greenhouse located in Carver, MA until his retirement.

Being an amateur comedian, he was the life of every party and loved to make people smile. He also enjoyed fishing, camping, gardening, Yahtzee, cards, cribbage, going to yard sales and flea markets, collecting rock artifacts, being a devoted New England sports fan, and spending time with his family and friends. He cared for his fellow man and helped so many strangers, even if it was just giving a kind word of encouragement or the last dollar in his pocket.

There will be a memorial service held at Faith Baptist Church of Plymouth County, located at 190 Center St., Carver, MA on Saturday March 28, 2026 at 11 AM, followed by a celebration of life luncheon in the dining hall downstairs.
