Ellen Amalia Rubenstein

Ellie was my very best friend throughout our years at ETHS. We slept at each other's houses as often as our own, and even wrote in each other's journals on a regular basis. I deeply loved and admired her honesty, emotional intelligence , courage, and contagious sense of humor. I am so sad that she is gone, but I will remember her with tremendous love for the rest of my life. xxx Louise Haimowitz

I met Ellie through my friendship with Ann at Harand Camp. I will never forget her infectious smile, boundless energy, and her love of life. She will be greatly missed not only by her family, but by the many whose lives she touched. With love always, Gigi Hara-Ramis

I didn't know my co-mother-in-law Ellie long enough or well enough, but I think her youtube video Iquityoucantfireme sums up her intelligence, courage, passion and dedication to advocacy and Tikkun Olam as a lifestyle, traits that shine so brightly in Allie as well.

Wishing all strength for the days ahead, and peaceful hearts for those that follow.

When I first met Marty and Shirlee, their children were little. Ellie was a gorgeous little doll with big brown eyes and a lovely smile. I remember her at camp and also when the Rubensteins would visit the Friedmans.

Our deepest condolences to the Rubenstein family. Though we didn't know Ellie, Mark spoke lovingly of her, and we know she is deeply missed. We also have a shared love of Sanibel and Ding Darling, and I imagine there were probably times we shuffled past each other while looking for the best shells, eyes fixed on the sand at our feet. I hope her memory will be a solace and joy to her husband and family, especially at this heartbreaking time.

dear Mark and all the Rubenstein family, we are thinking of you. Having wonderful memories of Ellie is a blessing but the sadness of your loss must be so deep. We send love and hope that you can take comfort from each other. Joan and Doug

I´m sorry I never got to meet Ellie. My heart goes out to the whole family. To Amy and Mark who I know, and to all the others I only know of, I send you love and hugs. May Ellie rest in peace and I´m sure she knew how much she was loved.

Her sweet nature and her beautiful smile. She was gorgeous

Ellie had the warmest smile. A kind, smart, delightful human. Sending love to Richard, Jonny & Ruthie, and the whole family.

Brummel street in Evanston. We lived on Barton and our families were close. My favorite was Christmas Day when Shirlee would make us pancakes in shapes.
