I knew Ellen through my husband Bud Christy who worked with her at Buckeye for years. He always spoke of her very kindly and she always treated me with kindness. I know you are going to miss her very much and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Verlin, Jeff and Jamie, I was so sad to hear the news of Ellen's death. I truly treasure the memories I have of working with EJ at Buckeye. She taught me so much! She was my surrogate mom, a mentor, a confidante, an inspiration, a role model, fashionista and a dear friend. She was a blessing to me and to so many others. I know your hearts are broken and there just aren't words to convey my sorrow. I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I will always remember Ellen smiling. In what has become an increasingly cold, impersonal world, Ellen could always be counted on for warmth, friendship and a positive attitude. Her joy for life was infectious and it was an honor to have known her. God bless Ellen's family with many happy memories of her wonderful personality.

I was acquainted with Ellen through Buckeye Cablevision, and the Boys and Girls Club when I was a board member. She was involved with the Communications committee. She will be sorely missed. Deborah Born(Perrysburg,Ohio)

One of the better parts of being diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer was meeting Ellen. She was a wonderful woman who showed me how to face this illness with grace and love. I have missed seeing her at our meetings, she added so much warmth to the room with her smile. I pray that you find comfort in your memories of Ellen, and her example.

Dear Verlin, Jeff & Jamie, words just seem so inadequate at this time. Please know that you have our deepest sympathy. Ellen was many things to many people, but being a Mom, Wife, and Grandmother were always her top priority. You are left with many, many precious memories...cherish them.

To Verlin and family - What a privilege to have known such a gracious, fun-loving and empowering woman. Ellen was so quick with a smile and an encouraging word. She gave great opportunity, respect and support to those of us in her department at Buckeye and was loved and admired. I will miss her laugh, her great sense of style, seeing all her matching outfits!!! and her courage and optimism in the face of her cancer. She was a very, very special lady in so many ways and will be missed.

To Ellen's family: I met Ellen at my first LTIO meeting almost 2 years ago. She welcomed me, supported me, but most of all, she gave me the strength and inspiration to face the biggest challenge of my life. She told me, it's all a part of the journey, and she was so right. Her winning smile will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our condolences to all of you. Ellen made me feel welcome when I was a newcomer at Bedford and I felt that welcome again 50 years later at our reunion. I'm glad I was able to see her again before she left us

I had the pleasure (and honor) of working with Ellen for years at Buckeye. She was one of the kindest persons that I knew. She was open and understanding of everyone she encountered. I will remember her kindness forever.
My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Jackson family during this time of grief.

Mr. Jackson and family: I was truly honored to take care of Ellen this past few years. I will always remember her warm smile and optimistic attitude, even when faced with bad news. I know she served as an inspiration to many, many women with ovarian cancer. She was one of my most favorite patients and know that she will be missed by many. Please accept my warmest condolences.

Ellen was one of our best pals at Bedford Schools. She was the May Queen in third grade and a class leader in high school. She was part of the choir at St. Paul's Temperance and a member of our catechism class. Her mom and dad were always willing to help out the Luther League and choir. We stored newspapers for a paper drive in a small barn at their place. I remember the day she cut off the tip of her finger in a door jam. At Miss Kamm's piano recitals that year,she sang. The piano was tough with a bum finger. We visited Wittenberg together during our senior year at BHS and shared rides back and forth from there during our freshman year. She served as our Matron of Honor at Eric's and my wedding just a few weeks after Jeff was born. At this year's 50th Class Reunion she was the first person to greet me and helped me enjoy the gathering. She was so nice and so gentile. You were a blessing, Ellen. The earth is a less civilized place because you are no longer here.

Ellen was like a second mother to me and a mentor. Working for Ellen Jackson was a privilege. I will miss our talks, our lunches, her laugh and the way she made you feel you could accomplish anything. She was always supportive. She was my supervisor for 7 years, but was also a dear friend and an inspiration. I will miss her so much.

We reconnected with Ellen when we started attending the Bedford Class of 59 luncheons a year or so ago. We greatly admired her for her attitude and courage in fighting her illness and her interest in everyone. To Verlin and her family, please accept our condolences on the loss of a lovely, caring lady

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
