I am very sorry for the loss of your loved one, Ellie Mazar. She was an inspiration. She never gave up on me during my teens. Ellie was kind, caring, selfless and determined in a field of work that did not necessarily reciprocate. It is a pleasure to have known her outside the system' she worked for and to know that she possessed these same attributes in her private life. Our world is in need of many more Ellie Mazar's. Ellie I'd like to thank you again for being you and never giving up on me. May you Rest In Peace. To Ellie's family, may you find comfort in the memories you shared.

I worked with Ellie in the adoption unit at Northampton County CYF and shared an office with her for many years. It was an amazing group of people to work with. Ellie was a dedicated and caring individual that never gave up on placing the most challenging child with a family. She told me there is a family out there for every child no matter what age or disability. To Ellie's family: You are in our thoughts and prayers.
May you rest in peace Ellie.

To the family of Elie Mazar,I am so sorry for your loss. Elie and I shared an office together while working at Children and Youth. I could not have asked for a kinder and sweet spirit of an individual. She was always willing to go that extra mile. Very soft spoken, may you rest in peace in the arms of our Lord Jesus.

I only knew your Mom on the telephone, we never met but worked in cooperation for many years where we shared work from one state to another. Ellie was always kind and helpful to me and I could depend on her for sound direction....Sorry for your loss
