The resolution honors Thell and Margie Ellison as the longest-married couple in Arkansas, celebrating their 82 years of marriage since their wedding on June 24, 1941. Thell, born on September 14, 1917, and Margie, born on February 12, 1925, currently reside in Natural Dam, Arkansas, where they maintain an active lifestyle and are surrounded by a large family that includes five children, fifteen grandchildren, thirty-seven great-grandchildren, and thirty-one great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to their remarkable marital longevity, both Thell and Margie are deeply involved in their community and church. Thell has taught an adult Sunday school class for 81 years and has served as a deacon for 82 years at the Independence Free Will Baptist Church, while Margie has contributed as a clerk, song leader, and custodian. The resolution concludes by stating that a copy will be provided to the Ellisons by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives upon adoption.
