Eventually when the kids were old enough, she returned to education as a teacher librarian which she thoroughly enjoyed. Ellie was always an avid athlete and she could usually be found at the RCYC on the badminton court, in the gym or sailing. She also loved games spending many hours playing bridge as well as board games at the family cottage.

She always looked forward to her morning phone calls from her beloved grand children as well as the holidays. She was a beautiful wife, a loving mother and a loyal friend, she will be dearly missed.
