Obituary for Ella Jean Battisfore (Hutt)
Ella Jean Battisfore, after 91 years, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 8, 2023. She was born in Philadelphia, PA on July,10 1931, to the late William and Ella May (Ruckstool) Hutt and died in Dillsburg, PA.
A graduate of John Bartram High School in Philadelphia, Jean met Edward Battisfore while working as a telephone operator at the The Bell Telephone Company. The couple married in 1953.
In addition to raising six children, Jean enjoyed attending church, bible studies, playing bridge and rummy, working on jigsaw puzzles, reading, and spending time at the Brigantine NJ and Ocean City MD beaches. Jean enjoyed playing golf alongside her husband at The Country Club of Harrisburg. Jean scored a hole in one on two separate occasions. One of Jean’s favorite past times was to remind her family of these achievements.
Jean was a deacon at the Camp Hill Presbyterian Church and served locally and on mission trips; often supporting the process of providing meals for the many participants. Well into her 70s, Jean was a faithful servant of Meals on Wheels, delivering food to those in need.
