Ellen stood out as someone so beautiful and special inside and out. She was so kind and always warm hearted. I knew her from our old neighborhood. She was a great swimmer on the Rock Creek pool swim team, so graceful like the person she was. I miss her and wish she was still in the world. Love, Joanie

I had the honor of knowing Ellen and Jules during his illness. He was a dear, dear man--such a cheerful, kind person. But to see Ellen care for him, week after week, year after year...that was a lesson in love and devotion. She was loving, funny, smart and a fierce advocate for anything he needed. It was clear they were deeply, deeply in love. We talked a lot about our kids, and it was obvious that she was an extraordinary mother. I've come to know hundreds, if not thousands, of people during my career, and many were memorable people. But, Ellen and Jules have a very special place in my memory. I'm grateful and honored to have been a small part of their lives at a tough time. My deepest condolences

I am so sorry to hear about Ellen's passing. We lived in the same neighborhood and she and I were on the rock creek swim team. I remember what a beautiful delightful person she was. I am so sad about the news. I know though she has made a difference in so many lives. I found her so special and so lovable. Joanie
