Aunt Ellen was a wonderful and loving woman. I remember so many special moments shared with her as a child and adult. Aunt Ellen chronicled all our family events with her camera and shared the photos with all. She was an amazing mother raising two caring and successful children when being a single, working mom was not the norm. Aunt Ellen was a great sister to her sisters, Midge, Jane, and Betty Ann, and her brother, George. She loved so very much her husband, John, all her life. It is a great comfort knowing that they will be united in heaven.
Ellen, Brian, Aura, and family,
You have been blessed with the love of your mom and grandmother. You now have your own very special angel to watch over you all. Tom and I want to send our deepest sympathy, love, and prayers at this difficult time. We loved Aunt Ellen very much and are so blessed to have shared in a small part of her amazing life.
God Bless You,
Maureen and Tom

Dear Ellen, Brian, Aura & Family, we want to extend our deepest sympathy to all of you. Aunt Ellen was a very special lady. She was a very important part of my life, and I have nothing but wonderful memories of her. I can still see her and my mom on all of their shopping trips, Ellie driving and Toot giving driving directions. Those two went everywhere together. Thank you Aunt Ellen for being such an important part of our life. We love you and will miss you so much!
