Aunt Ellen was thoughtful, caring and fun. We spent many summers together enjoying Lake of the Ozarks and suntanning when it was still 'in style'! We've also had alot of laughs playing countless games of Dominoes. I always enjoyed her company and her sense of humor! She loved to show pictures and talk about her grand and great- grand children. You will always be missed my 'Diva' Aunt, and forever loved

Ellen was almost as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside. She was the epitome of patience. Her kindness and thoughtfulness was her strength. She made me feel loved and appreciated.

You couldn't ask for a better grandma, she loved to be on the water and in the sun. She had class and a sense of style about her. We used to watch the hummingbirds together on her porch in Arkansas. She knew how to work a puzzle and was not known to send grandkids home without snacks. I benefited tremendously from having her in my life and have numerous fond memories of our adventures together.
