Ellen Thomeier Obituary
Age 67 of Nevillewood, passed on Friday, November 10, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Beloved partner of 51 years and wife of 45 years to William C. Thomeier, Sr. Loving mother of William C.

Beloved Grammy to 7 grandchildren, Isabella, William III, Brielle, Vivienne, Reece, Nigel and C.J. Daughter of the late Edward & Joyce Stanley, eldest of 7 siblings, and devoted aunt to many nieces and nephews.
Ellen was a legend. Everyone lucky enough to know her was a better person for it. Her kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and incredible, indescribable love for her family will be her legacy.
Her values were the foundation for her life. She was stern but kind, and she held herself firmly to those standards. She led by example, with grace and love. She insisted on good manners, respect, and dignity.
Ellen loved intensely, gave endlessly, cared tenderly, and served with joy. She inspired each life she touched. All of her contributions to her community are too vast to list, but she was involved in many charities and lived a life of community service. We who loved her closely have been blessed.
