Ellen was a wonderful person. I remember her in grade school and being impressed by her drawing ability. I also found out about Ellen's passing at Rincon's 35th H.S. reunion. Many fond memories of her and her very kind family.

I went to grade school with Ellen. I found out at Rincon's 35th H.S. reunion that she had passed away. I always wondered where she went. I will keep fond memories of our playground adventures and her wonderful storytelling. Mona Boice, Tucson, AZ

Ellen was a gentle, exceptionally intelligent woman with a quick wit. In knowing Ellen you couldn't help but love her. It had been far too long since seeing Ellen, but I have wonderful memories of her fabulous personality. Anyone knowing her would be enriched for the experience.

In the early 1980's I have the wonderful pleasure of working with Ellen at the Doubletree Hotel in Tucson. She was blessed with a great sense of humor and a very sharp mind. I regret not keeping in touch with Ellen.
