Ellen Albert Obituary
She is survived by her husband, David Heimbold; her beloved children, Kristin (Arthur) Guerra, Monica (Paul) Thiele, Maria (Jason) Ashton, and Joel Albert; her 14 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Gregory (Gayle) Heimbold, Keith Heimbold (Joanna Wilson), Danielle (William) Sing, Garrett Heimbold, Kristina Heimbold, David Heimbold, and Greta Heimbold; as well as her former husband of 32 years, Robert F. Albert.
Ellen was preceded in death by her sons, Robert Brett Albert, Scott Michael Albert, and Eric Anthony Albert, and by her grandsons, Christopher Adam Evans and Andrew Brendan Evans.
She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose life was defined by love, creativity, and faith. A remarkably gifted artist and an accomplished dance performer and instructor, Ellen shared her talents generously, inspiring and uplifting all who had the privilege of learning from her. Her beauty and elegance were evident not only in her appearance but in the grace with which she lived her life.
Above all, she was a woman of deep and abiding faith in the Lord, our Savior. Her spiritual devotion guided her life and brought her peace, even in passing. She firmly believed that death was not an end, but a joyful reunion, and she held fast to the promise that she would one day be reunited with her beloved family in Heaven.
Ellen will be remembered for her warmth, her artistic spirit, her dedication to others, and her unwavering faith. Her legacy lives on through the generations she cherished and the many lives she touched.
