We are so sorry for your loss. Our Mom, Debbie Milton, grew up with your Mom. Ellen was the maid of Honor for Debbie when she married our Dad at the Stratford Congregational Church in 1944. We have a beautiful picture of your Mom from that day. Our sister has the breakfast set Ellen gave as a wedding gift. Such memories....
The "girls" reconnected when Debbie moved back to CT in 1992. They enjoyed their monthly lunch and card game get together. Your Mom was so gracious, enjoyable and up to date. Ellen always spoke highly of her family.
It is truly the passing of the Greatest Generation. We wish you strength and comfort in the days ahead.
Joyce Filosi and my brother Curtis Milton

I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. My condolences to your family. Although I didn't know Ellen's family personally we did know Ellen well. She and my mom, Shirley Little (who passed away 6 years ago), were best friends from elementary school on up. I'm sure "the girls" are up there chatting about old times. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Melissa (Little) Schmidt

After years of working with her, I came to admire and respect her. She took tremendous pride in what she did and was a great woman.
