I was an employee of the senior facility that Mary Ellen lived in. I loved talking with her. She had a sharp wit and was never afraid to say what she meant. She hated not being as independent as she wanted to be but was very appreciative of those who understood that and helped her. Rest in peace Mary Ellen.
