I just learned of Ellen’s passing today. I’m saddened she has left us and I pray her family is comforted by her loving memories.
I had the good fortune to be Ellen’s classmate for years at Sacred Heart, and I’ll always cherish those memories. Rest in Peace Ellen, I’ll see you around the Bend.

So sorry for your loss. I spent many bus rides to New York with Ellen and she was the best at organizing a large crowd. I will keep your family in my prayers ❤

Ellen & Bob took me into their lives during my second week of college at Rosemont - I loved babysitting the kids while they could bowl at the club on Monday nights. Ellen and Bob became a part of my family and I theirs. I loved watching the Hyland children during my time at Rosemont and beyond. Our prayers go out to Lauren, Rob, Lindsey and Trisha and their families. To Bob - the love of your life is shining down upon you. May Ellen give you strength at this most difficult time.

Ellen was devoted to her volunteer endeavors. She was a constant figure at Episcopal, Notre Dame, and St. Joe’s Prep, while her children attended school there.
