Aunt Ellen was a breath of fresh air -- a truly remarkable plain-spoken human being whose memory will remain with me always.

D.A., John, Bob and Tom, I'm sorry for your loss of a wonderful mother, and forever grateful to have known her.

Hi Guys...So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I was in town this weekend and took a walk down the street...reminded me of the great neighborhood we grew up in and how all of our parents kept their eyes on us all. Always felt safe. Kelly Horen Crawford

Ellen was a wonderful person. ....always fun to be around. ...a special friend to my Aunt Arlene Wright....Ellen called her Deener. She was a friend to my mom (Thelma Sylvester) and my Aunt Milly (Mildred LaLonde) too. Our loss is heaven's gain.
I will remember Ellen fondly.
