Ellen and I go back 30+ years (she was my friend's neighbor). We had so many fun times at my house at the Cape, her rental in Sagamore, in P'town, and my house in Marshfield. These last few years were tough for Ellen...but she made the most of her days! When I didn't hear from Ellen around the holidays, I knew something had happened. May she fly with the eagles...I'll miss our chats. RIP Ellen.

Dear Family,
I am beyond sad about Ellen´s recent passing away after her long struggle with scleroderma. My husband and I met Ellen when we also were living in the Lincoln St Hyde School condos in Newton Highlands. Our friendship continued after we all moved from the Hyde School. Ellen and I went together to the silent retreats at the Our Lady of Calvary for about four summers, as well. Ellen was funny, irreverent, kind and a wonderful friend. We moved to California 5 yrs ago, but kept in touch through texting and mail. Knowing that Ellen wasn´t well, I texted recently with no replies back. Today I was devastated to learn of her recent death. I am hoping family and friends will be of much support at this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Andrea and Terry Heinlein

It is hard to believe that my friend Ellen has passed. She was the sweetest person, who was great at her job. I was blessed to work with her at Liberty Mutual. My deepest condolences to her family. She will remain in my heart. Her smile would always make your day.
