Ellamae Gillespie Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ellie spent her life caring for others, taking great joy in raising her children, teaching CCD, being treasurer of the St. Pamphilus Christian Mothers and Women's Guild, and watching her family grow for two more generations. Raised on the North Side of Pittsburgh, she was an Allegheny High School cheerleader, met her beloved Chas, and became an avid duckpin bowler.
After Chas and Ellie moved their growing family to Beechview, they continued to enjoy life with family vacations, fun in their backyard pool, trips to Las Vegas, and rooting on the Buccos through thick and thin and for the Steelers as season ticket holders for decades. The last years of her life were spent in Baldwin Township with her youngest daughter while she continued her love of reading, holiday gatherings, and playing with her great grandchildren.
