Ellie Perseille Obituary
NORTH CAROLINA -- Ellie J. Perseille, 75, passed away in the early morning hours of April 15, 2011, after a long battle with Alzheimer's.
With the help of an amazing husband of 57 years, Ellie raised two children, Joseph Michael Perseille and Joelle Perseille in Hollis, after being raised in Ellsworth. Wayne Henry Perseille, known as 'Joe,' met her after his tour in Korea and she was the most beautiful young lady at the Maine Central Institute in Pittsfield. When they married, Ellie was just shy of 18.
After a time in California, they returned with their children to Hollis and enjoyed loving relationships with those predeceased, Ellie's Mom and Dad, Ina and Dan Hamilton; in-laws, Joe and Ruth Perseille; brother-in-law, Morton Perseille with wife Allison, sister-in-law, Iona Gerry (Ellie's best friend) with husband Stubby; and lastly her big brother, Bill Hamilton, wife Nancy, and their eight rambunctious children, Danny, Billy, Robbie, Stevie, Cindy, Dickie, Chickie and Michele.
Ellie founded Buttertown Florist in Hollis, then moved it to Bar Mills. Her amazing ability with color and handling client service made the company flourish. She was also a founding member of TOPS, Taking Pounds Off Sensibly-Chapter #175 in Buxton.
In the meanwhile, she was blessed with three grandchildren, Katie, Kelly and Mark. Niece Susan Clarke (nee Stackpole), husband Ken, and daughter Natalie are integral parts of our immediate family and we can't imagine being without them. Steve Owens, their favorite son-in-law, has always been there as well.
Ellie received the amazing services of the Hospice of North Carolina in Charlotte in her last month of life. Coupled with Dad's care, she was able to stay home and die peacefully.
Joe and her family plan to bring her home to Maine this summer. Mom always enjoyed their annual trips to Maine. It makes total sense she will be laid down by the people who loved her most.
