Ellen was married to my step-brother, Bernard, and after his death, we lost touch over the years. I remember Fred when he was a very young child. We extend our sympathies to him and his family and the rest of Ellen's family. It is always difficult to have a parent pass, but especially at this time of year.

We live across from Ellen six months of the year and just loved her.It would be hard to find a day when she wasn't smiling even if she didn't feel well.She used to come over and sit on the porch with us and we would blab away for hours.We are so saddened by her death and extend our prayers and sympathy. May she rest in peace,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Ellen. I, too, worked for Fairless as a secretary and remember her as a lovely lady who also was kind and friendly. She will be missed.
