ELLSWORTH, Paul E. Age 83, beloved husband for over 57 years of marriage to Carol A. (Mann) Ellsworth, died Saturday, June 6, 2020 in Lehigh Acres, Florida. He was formerly a resident of Braintree, North Quincy, and Dorchester. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he was the son of the late John and Mildred (Sullivan) Ellsworth.

He also belonged to a bowling league at Lehigh Acres Lanes in Florida for 20 years. He enjoyed telling stories of his travels, along with his childhood memories of sneaking into the Boston Garden and Fenway Park to watch games, and once breaking the tip off the statue of Gen. Prescott's sword in Charlestown with a snowball. He loved traveling with his family to Cape Cod, Florida, Las Vegas and the Philippines. In his later years, he wouldn't miss playing along with Jeopardy on the television with his grandchildren.
