Ellen Klinck Obituary

Born Ellen Douglas Stiles in 1930 to Captain and Mrs. William Stiles, the third of four children. She spent her childhood in Summit, NJ, and attended St Marys in NH and Colby College in ME, before settling near Boston to raise a family. After the end of her first marriage, Ellen and her 4 children moved to Glastonbury, CT. It was there that she fell in love with with Richard Klinck. The two wed in 1972, and they remained happily married until her passing.Ellen was a member of the St James Episcopal Church in Glastonbury, as well as the Church of the Good Shephard in Hartford. She was an active participant in the choir at both. After living in Glastonbury for over 30 years, the couple moved to The Saybrook at Haddam. In March of 2019, with failing health, Ellen entered hospice care, and over the next few days slid gently and graciously into the Heart of God.Ellen is survived by her husband Richard, her brothers Albert and David Stiles, and her children Christopher, Elizabeth and Sam Stoney; with 5 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.

My aunt Ellen Klinck was special and understanding with my physical disability. Ellen was a activity director in a Nursing home in Glastonbury CT. The last time I saw Ellen and Dick was at my parents 60 th wedding party. Ellen was blind but it didn't slow her down.Beth Stiles

To my dear cousins and beloved Uncle Richard, Aunt Ellen was and is an unforgettable person. She brought so much joy to so many lives, and was always grateful for the love and joy she took in all of life's ups and downs. She was happy. I picture her now, delighting in a nesting bird and a basket of pansies and the springtime sun. Always loved her. Always will.
