Obituary For Ms. Kal Ellison
Ms. Kal Venus Ellison was born on March 13, 1960, to the late Calvin and Doris Ellison, and she departed this life on Sunday, November 16, 2025, at High Point Medical Center.
Kal attended Guilford County public schools and was a graduate of Lucy Ragsdale High School. She attended the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, where she also played the piccolo in the band.
Kal owned a flourishing cleaning business that was marked by excellence, dedication, and a passion for people. She also worked at Levolor. Kal resided in High Point, NC, where she was fondly loved by many for her outgoing, straightforward, and poised personality.
Kal was preceded in death by her parents, grandmother, Annie Mae Williams, and sister, Jacqueline “Jackie” Howze.
She leaves to cherish her memory, her beloved daughter, Doris Jade Ellison, and son, Calvin Michael Ellison, both of High Point, NC; her blessed grandchildren, Chazden Kree Ellison-Hayes, and A’laya-Venus A. Carter; three loving sisters, Toni Louise Williams, Laverne Roberts (Archie) of High Point, NC; and Brittany Marie Ellison of Jamestown, NC; she is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends who will continue to celebrate her remarkable life.
Kal’s legacy is one of love, service, and unwavering dedication to those she touched.

This is the fondest memory I have of Kal: My son asked Doris to prom...when Kal realized who my husband and I were she immediately investigated to make sure my son and Doris were not related (they are not) lol. Kal Ellison is a rare and beautiful spirit that makes me smile when her name is mentioned. What a positive effect to have on another soul. She lives freely forever (absent of the flesh). Love Rosa.
So Sorry for your Loss From the Witherspoon Family 💔😭🎭🧴🧤
To the Ellison Family, may God bless each of you at this time. Praying for comfort and peace knowing she is in the hands of our Lord and savior. My parents were friends with Mr. Calvin and Ms. Doris years ago and we all play together when we were around each other. Praying for you. Andy @ Gilmer Family.

My heart is heavy and my eyes are filled with tears. Our families were very close growing up. Our parents loved each other so much. Kal and I were expecting our children at the same time. I love you Dois and Calvin so much, she loved you both unconditionally and she loved her parents so much that she named the both of you after them. Our prayers 🙏❤️ are with the family.
