Luberta Ellis, a beloved daughter, friend, and community member, who left us on April 13, 2025, at her residence in Columbus, Mississippi. Born on March 31, 1953, to Willie Ellis and Mary Johnson, Luberta was a lifelong resident of Columbus, where she touched the lives of many with her warmth and kindness.

Luberta was a dedicated member of Mt. Avery M.B. Church, where she served as an usher, welcoming all with her radiant smile and generous spirit. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her in her interactions with others and inspiring those around her.

Known affectionately as "Boot," Luberta had a zest for life that was evident in her many passions. In her younger years, she found joy in riding horses, a hobby that brought her immense happiness and a sense of freedom. Her love for animals and the outdoors reflected her adventurous spirit and her appreciation for the beauty of nature.

Luberta's legacy is one of love and unwavering faith. She will be remembered for her infectious laughter, her compassionate heart, and her ability to bring people together.

Luberta is preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Liger Johnson and Willie Jones; and her maternal and paternal grandparents.

Boot leaves to cherish her loving memories to her siblings, Callie M. Eillis, Eurgenteen Jones,  Christine Jones and Loveree Jones all of Columbus, MS and Lorenzo Johnson of Tupelo, MS. She also leaves eight nephews, one niece, other relatives and friends.
