Ellen was born July 10, 1958 in Watertown, New York, to Richard and Anna (Slate) Larkin. She was a graduate of LaFargeville Central School.

Throughout her life, Ellen worked in a variety of roles, but she was best known for the care and pride she took in her housekeeping and cleaning work. She was someone people trusted completely in their homes. Ellen built lasting relationships with those she worked for because of her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the genuine kindness she showed to everyone she met.

Ellen will be remembered as a loving, trustworthy, and warm-hearted person who had a wonderful sense of humor. She had a way of making people laugh and feel comfortable, and she brought lightness and joy to those around her. Her caring nature and ability to connect with others left a lasting impression on many.
