Not sure what to say?

Ellen will diffidently be missed. I was a Washington school ski club chaperone for many years with Ellen, and thoroughly enjoyed going skiing with her and the kids at Greek Peak.

I remember Ellen from committees, meetings, and workshops at the ECSD. She always had a brilliant smile on her face and her quick wit kept us all laughing. Now she is flying with the angels. Sincere condolences to her family.

It seems that those special people who were with us through elementary, high school and beyond will always be in our lives. Ellen, especially, was such a joyful woman that hearing of her passing is particularly difficult; she will be missed but not forgotten. My last memory of her was a couple of years ago when we got lost in the Tampa airport because we were so busy "catching up" (gabbing while walking). My sincere condolences go out to her entire family and friends.

To Ellen's Family: All that we love deeply
becomes a part of us! May she rest in eternal peace.

I am so sorry for your loss,Trisha Elwood

My most sincere condolences,
