Willie and Family,
My mother, Joyce Fralick, and I were so sad to learn of Ellen's passing. Our hearts are with you and your family.
Please know Ellen's personality, smile and big heart has touched so many people. Wherever Ellen went she left people with sore faces and aching stomachs from her jokes and the tremendous amount of laughter, not to mention the Joy that she spread just by being.
Mom and I recall her drive-by flamingo planting she inevitably got us tangled up in! "Here Lisa, you do this one!" As I planted that flamingo she beeps the horn to bring attention, her and mom break out in hysterical laughter as I scurry back to the get away car! The laughter continued heavily for hours, and honestly to this day we giggle about it.
Even though physically she may not be here, her spirit will continue to live on in our memories and hearts. Willie, of course, you were her greatest joy and all you accomplished in life with school, work and most of all your family.
All our love,
Lisa Anello Bates
Joyce Fralick and Family

Ellen was such a sweet and generous woman. Made friends with people instantly she was just that way. I know that my Mom and her other friends will miss her greatly. So thankful for her life and what she did for us.
