I met Ellie when we were both members of the Hospital Guild. She was a special lady, willing to help us newcomers and she became a good friend. My sincere sympathy to her family and close friends. She will be missed by all who knew her

I was honored to meet Ellie at Club 50 exercise class where we became exercise buddies. It was as though I had known her forever. She could always make me laugh. I am so glad I got to see her just a couple of weeks before she died. She will always have a place in my heart. My sincere condolences to her family. I never met you, but I know you from listening to Ellie talk about you and how much she loved you and was proud of you.
