Ellen Belville Obituary
Ellen Ruth Belville, 85, formerly of Perrysburg, Ohio, passed away on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at Woodhaven Health Care Center in Bowling Green, Ohio. She was born on April 10, 1940, in Toledo, Ohio, to Harvey Sr. and Ruth (Townsed) Mantey. Ellen married Bert E. Belville Sr. in 1961, and they shared 61 years of loving marriage until his passing in 2022. She worked as a caregiver for more than thirty years at Sunshine Children's Home until her retirement. Ellen enjoyed having potted flowers around her home, and was an avid shopper who loved searching for the best bargains and deals. She especially loved the Christmas season, but above all, she was a proud grandmother who cherished every moment with her grandchildren.
She is survived by her loving family: daughter, Sue (Robert) Waller; son, Bert Belville Jr.; grandchildren, Courtney, Austin Sr., Brittany, Tyler, and Weston; great-grandchildren, Austin Jr., Emmett, and Serena; and siblings, Flora Laney, Imogene Mantey, and Terry Mantey. Ellen was preceded in death by her husband, Bert; her parents; her son, Ralph ("Butch"); and her brothers, Harvey and Richard Mantey.
