The resolution honors Thell and Margie Ellison as the longest-married couple in Arkansas, having celebrated 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 have built a large family consisting of five children, fifteen grandchildren, thirty-seven great-grandchildren, and thirty-one great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to their remarkable family legacy, both Thell and Margie are active members of the Independence Free Will Baptist Church, where Thell has taught an adult Sunday school class for 81 years and served as a deacon for 82 years. Margie has contributed to the church as a clerk, song leader, and custodian. The resolution acknowledges their dedication to each other and their community, and it mandates that a copy of the resolution be provided to them by the Secretary of the Senate upon its adoption.
