Mrs. Ada Sellers Tennant of 7034 Five Chop Rd., Santee, was born May 23, 1941 to the late Nora and Jimmie Sellers in Santee, South Carolina. She attended the Orangeburg County Public Schools. After graduating from Roberts High School, she was employed as a professional Seamstress in Elloree, SC until she retired in 1996. Ada fell in love and married William Tennant. Their union was blessed with four children.
As a youth, Ada recognized, accepted and allowed the Lord to lead her footsteps. She joined Providence Baptist Church. Serving on the Choir and Usher Board, Ada was an active and faithful member until she became ill. She loved to shop, dress well, cook and share quality time with her children, family and friends.
Ada departed this earthly life and began her eternal life on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at The Regional Medical Center, Orangeburg, SC.
