Ellen Driggers Obituary
BLENHEIM — Ellen Eugenia Caulder Driggers, age 87, passed away Monday, June 2, 2025, at her home in Blenheim.
Born December 15, 1937, Ellen was the daughter of CV and Louisa Caulder. She was a longtime member of Parnassus United Methodist Church in Blenheim, where she served as Secretary/Treasurer for 40 years and was a choir member.
Ellen was a graduate of 1955 Lower Marlboro High School. She was known by family and friends as a dedicated caregiver. She dreamed of becoming a nurse and attended Winthrop College to study nursing.
