'Once you met Jack you couldn't forget him' - Tributes paid to Cumbrian teen
TRIBUTES have been paid to a West Cumbrian teen who shone a light into the lives of everyone he met. Jack Ellis, 17, faced a lifetime of challenges, starting at three weeks old when he overcame meningitis for the first time. Later he learned to walk again and to write left-handed after losing his mobility and the dexterity in his right hand. But a medical episode last month proved too much and Jack died peacefully on May 22 after a stroke. Jack Ellis 'shone a light into the lives of everyone he met' (Image: Submitted) Jack grew up in Workington with foster carers Gavin and Susan Beach and their daughter Laura, who he called his mum, dad and sister. Over the years he had many hospital stays due to illnesses and surgery, living with physical and learning disabilities. He fought back at every turn, surprising those around him with his learning ability and impressive memory. Jack never forgot a name or face and if he spotted someone he knew while out and about he could be sure to greet them loudly, using their full name, then chat for as long as he could before they had to leave. A fan of games shows and music, Jack loved to perform to an audience. Gavin said: 'Jack shone a light into the lives of everyone he met. 'He had an insatiable thirst for meeting people and finding out about them, and for telling jokes. 'Once you met Jack you couldn't forget him.' Susan added: 'They broke the mould when they made Jack.' Jack Ellis, 17, faced a lifetime of challenges but fought back at every turn (Image: Submitted) Birth dad Martin Goth recalled how Jack would sing songs during video calls and play along on the guitar he received at Christmas. He added: 'A call with Jack would just lift me up and make me smile.' Jack attended Victoria Infant and Junior schools before moving to Mayfield School in Whitehaven, and enjoyed outreach activities and short breaks with West House. In summer 2023 he moved to Underley Garden School in Kirkby Lonsdale to develop his independence skills as he moved towards adulthood. Stephen Chambers, who worked with Jack in his role as assistant head at Mayfield School, recalled the youngster being 'full of energy and relentless spirit'. He said: 'He enriched my life in the time I knew him and I know many others will say the same. 'In the short time he was here, Jack showered the world with joy, laughter and love and will never be forgotten.' Among those who spent time with Jack in hospital were his birth mum Stacey Ellis and sister Jodie, who expressed their love for him. Jack's funeral will be held at Distington crematorium on Thursday, June 12 at 1.15pm. Donations can be made via Hobans Funeral Services to hydrocephalus charity Shine and the Great North Air Ambulance.

'She was a hero': Tennessee woman fostered more than 400 children, many with special needs
Nancy Arlene Woodall's phone rang in the middle of the night. It was her brother-in-law, Mike Beach, then the chief of police in Smyrna. Two young boys had been abused. Could she take them in? "That's what started everything," her daughter Michelle Brown recalled. That spontaneous act of kindness in the 1980s launched decades of Woodall serving as a foster mom to more than 400 Tennessee children, many with disabilities. She died June 8 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She was 71. "The community is truly losing a gem of a person who had a selfless heart for one of the most vulnerable populations — foster children," said Kassie M. Davis, director of the Rutherford County CASA (court-appointed special advocates for children). "Most people would look away at the hardest foster care cases, but she opened her arms and welcomed them into her home multiple times over the years." Brown, 52, is the oldest of Woodall's three biological children. "What she did was amazing," Brown said. "She was a hero." Early on, Woodall cared for as many as 10 foster children in addition to her three biological children in her house at one time, her birth daughters and one former foster child said. Woodall made it work with strict house rules and expectations — each child did chores, and older kids helped care for the younger ones. Woodall also stayed in touch with her foster kids and mentored them long after they aged out, relatives and former foster kids said. "She changed lives and saved lives, and her legacy will never be forgotten," the state Department of Children's Services said in a June 10 Facebook post. One of her first foster children, Jennifer Ulrich, 50, said she and Woodall occasionally butted heads, but they stayed connected until Woodall died. "Coming to her in such a young age in 1987 was one of best things that could've ever happened in my life," said Ulrich, a storage facility manager in Smyrna. "Because of her, I am the person, the mother I am today." Woodall launched new programs to meet foster kids' needs as they popped up in her house. When she found out the state only gave foster parents an extra $50 for Christmas presents, Woodall started an Angel Tree program for all foster kids in Rutherford County. Woodall found sponsors and raised money every year until she died. When foster kids started arriving with belongings in trash bags, Woodall started a program to get luggage for youth in protective care. "Her impact extended FAR beyond her Rutherford County front door," DCS said in the Facebook post. "Nancy played a key role in shaping the Foster Parent Bill of Rights [and] she served as a foster parent advocate to mentor others." In 1991, Woodall took in a 4-month-old baby who'd been abused so badly that the girl would grow up unable to walk or talk. Woodall stopped working outside her home to have more time to take care of the girl, Amanda, whom Woodall adopted when the girl turned 16. After Amanda Woodall died in 2012, Nancy Woodall almost exclusively fostered children with disabilities or medical challenges. Those included children who'd had organ transplants, children with autism and children with Down syndrome, her birth daughters said. "Once she lost Amanda, she had a fear that nobody would take care of those kids, and she had the experience and knew how to do it," Brown said. "She didn't want a child left in a hospital room or a facility where they wouldn't get the attention they needed." Woodall's own medical issues stopped her from being able to foster kids in 2023, her birth daughters said. But she kept raising money for the Angel Tree program, and she kept advocating for foster kids and parents. Memorial services are planned for June 14. Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the funeral immediately following at Woodfin Memorial Chapel, located at 1488 Lascassas Pike in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In addition to her hundreds of foster children, Woodall, born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, is survived by her biological children, Michelle Brown (Aaron), Hannah Reynolds (Brent), and Matthew Adam Woodall (Whitney); grandsons, Knox and Cooper Reynolds; and siblings, Robert Butler (Cindy), Barbara Croft (George), Brenda Beach, Mike Trotter (Deborah), and Renee Butler; and nieces and nephews. The family has requested donations to the Rutherford County Angel Tree, P.O. Box 3135, Murfreesboro, TN 37133, or online at Reach Brad Schmitt at brad@ This article originally appeared on Nashville Tennessean: Remembering Tenn. woman, foster mom to hundreds of kids, many with special needs
