I had the privilege of teaching at Bethel Manor School when Ellie was the cafeteria manager there. She was the best manager in the world - always had a smile and something nice or funny to say to us every day. She supported all the activities of the library and never refused to help make special foods for the entire school whenever we needed them.I have so many happy memories of her and the other "cafeteria ladies". There was never a dull moment when they were around. My deepest sympathy goes to all of her family.
