Joe grew up in a lively household with his loving parents and siblings. He was a proud graduate of Grand Blanc High School. After graduation, Joe worked at General Motors for a short period in an Oklahoma plant before moving to Gladwin in 1985.
Family was the cornerstone of Joe's life. He is survived by his father, Donald Sr. Ellsworth; his sisters, Nancy & Ron Swapp and Becky Thymian; his sister-in-law, Dorothy Ellsworth; and several adoring nieces and nephews. Joe was preceded in death by his mother, Joan Ellsworth, and his brothers, Don Ellsworth, and his brother-in-law Steve Thymian.
Those who knew Joe will remember him. He faced life's challenges with a courage that inspired those around him. Joe's kind-hearted nature made him a beloved figure in his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
