Ellen Jones Obituary

Ellen June Jones

Ellen June Jones, 75, wife of Frank Jones of Eagle River WI peacefully passed away in the loving embrace of her family at Marshfield Hospital on December 23, 2019. Born June 3, 1944 in Janesville Wisconsin, Ellen was born and raised by Myra and Paul Siebert until their deaths, and then lovingly adopted and raised by Lucille and Fred Weresch.

Ellen graduated from Washington High School in 1963, and married the love of her life Frank on June 27, 1964. Together they raised four daughters and built an entrepreneurial business together. Ellen's passions were care-taking, housekeeping and making other people happy until chronic health conditions limited her ability.

Ellen is survived by her husband Frank of 55 years, daughters Christine (Rob) Stuart of Germantown WI, Cheryl (Michael) Reel of Belmont NC, Cindy (Bill) Rebholz of Milwaukee WI, and Carol (Josh) Horst of Land O'Lakes WI. She is also survived by eight grandchildren: Robert, Sarah, Keaton, James, Gretchen, Lauren, Mary and Seth, and her brother Rex Weresch.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated privately by the family in Eagle River. Donations in Ellen's name can be made to St. Peter the Fisherman Parish in Eagle River, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or a breast cancer organization of your choice.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
