I recall so many incidents with Ellie, we used to visit back & forth almost every day, she would come over to my house or I to hers. We talked about everything -- life, and even death as we related to each other our plans for cremation and burial.
She was a wonderful neighbor and friend, and after she moved to Bridgewater, I visited her often and she enjoyed her time there and loved her cat. I will miss Ellie more than you know, as I feel I have lost a sister too! My prayers are for her at this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. My Nana, Glenna Swank, was great friends with Ellie. As they all struggled with independence due to age and health related issues, my mom would drive them all to their weekly lunch date. Even when Nana passed, she maintained the tradition with Barb and Ellie.

Please accept my sympathies for your loss. Ellie was part of our weekly lunch group in Ocala, comprised of Ellie's close friend, Barb Buecher; the late Phyl Huntington; my late mother, Glenna Swank; and myself. I enjoyed visiting Ellie at her home at On Top of the World, and more recently, at her assisted living facility. It was a joy to hear Ellie discuss her two cats, with Sonny as her most recent animal companion.
