Ellen was an incredibly warm and sweet woman who lived a life marked by faith, dedication, and quiet joys. She worked for both Tupperware and Youngstown Spray Equipment during her career. She was also a proud member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles FOE 213.
In her free time, Ellen found joy in crocheting and making baby blankets for family and friends-a heartfelt expression of her care and creativity. An avid reader, she often read one or two books each week, finding comfort and inspiration in the written word.
A member of First United Methodist Church in Austintown, who was of the Christian faith that guided her throughout her life. Her deep love of Jesus was evident in the way she lived and served others.
Ellen cherished time spent with family, especially enjoying dinners and attending events together. Her presence brought warmth to every gathering, and she will be deeply missed by those who knew her.
May her memory bring comfort to all who mourn her passing.
