My sympathies to Ellie's family. I knew her through the German clubs here in Toledo. I remember her and Kurt being wonderful dancers. I crossed her path years later while working in a Promedica facility where we enjoyed conversation in her room. She was a truly beautiful person in so many ways! Kathy Boehm Ehlers Northwood, OH

Ellie was a wonderful neighbor of mine. I also knew her as The Plant Lady at Dana Corp when I worked there. I loved talking to her. She was a superb swimmer too, being a member of a synchronized swimming group. I was a hospice nurse most of my life & I´ll never forget the day Kurt was brought in. What a love story these 2 had. I will miss her but I´m glad she´s with Kurt now.
