I taught with Ellen six years at Sturgis Middle School. I taught 6th grade math. Ellen was so helpful to me with the Connected Math Program. We went to math conferences together along with other math teachers. Ellen would always be my roommate because she snored and it didnt bother me! I retired 10 years ago and now live in northern Michigan. Ellen visited me up here and we stayed in contact over the years. I am very pleased that I met Ellen and was able to teach with her! We always had fun. I am so sorry that she has passed away. I will miss her. The entire Eisele family is in my thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace, dear Ellen.

Ellen was the first person I met, when coming to Sturgis 18 years ago. She welcomed me with open arms and has been a close friend ever since. I will miss her so much that words are not adequate.

I had Ms. Eisele for 7th & 8th grade math back in 2002 and 2003 and she was always very supportive and helpful. I wasn't the best student but she never gave up on me and always believed in me. She was a great teacher who will be sorely missed.
