Not sure what to say?

I went to st Stephen’s school, we always knew there was someone that meant the best for us kids in the office because she was there. How much more wonderful can a person be before God must take them to a better place?

Mrs. Ghostley was truly one of the best things to ever happen to St Stephen’s. She will be truly missed and I felt very lucky to have known her going to St Stephen’s. When I heard she passed away I knew I needed to say how lucky I was to have known her and how she touched so many peoples hearts.

Mary Kay & family, my heart goes out to you at the loss of your mother. I am blessed to hear of Eleanor’s life, though I never knew her in my 6 years of living in the Anoka community. God bless you & keep you as you hold treasured memories, yet grieve your dear mother.

I felt a sadness when I learned of your mom's passing. Always had the most respect for Ed and Ellie when ever we played your team. Hope your good memories will fill your hearts. Jan Lonn.

Ellie was the school secretary at St. Stephen's when my 3 kids went there. She was always so friendly whenever I'd come in. When my daughter taught there, Ellie gave me special privileges. Then she was my Eucharistic Team Captain. She always made me feel special and like she really liked me. I saw her at Chick-fil-a a couple months before she left us. She gave me a hug and told me she prays for me. Keep the prayers coming Ellie! I'll always miss you ❤

Mrs. Ghostly was the ultimate rock at St. Stephen's School and knew all the students by name! She was an amazing woman, loved her family, her sports teams and dedicated to her faith. She taught us all how to be kinder, have a sense of humor and how she held together the school each day! Peace to you Mrs. Ghostly and her family.

Ellie was one of the kindest people Wayne and I have ever known. She knew our three kids so well and always greeted them warmly and sincerely. They loved her and so did we. We feel privileged to know they were actually guided many ways by here in their elementary education years at St Stephen’s School. Ellie you should greet all of the souls entering heaven.

I have often wondered how Ellie was doing. Ellie was the front office "glue" at St. Stephen's School. Her cheerful nature and kind heart are just what a child, staff member, or parent needed. I will always remember Ellie. With hugs to Mary Kay and the rest of Ellie's loved family.
