As a very young and green new club president in the 1970's, I considered Ellie was one of my mentors. Her wonderful sense of humor never let us down. She was a wonderful leader, an encourager, and she and Ray always lighted up a room when they arrived. My sincere sympathy to her loved ones. We will all miss her.
