Ellen was a loving and very sweet person. She always had a smile and a wave for her neighbors. Her friendly ways extended to animals. She loved petting and seeing dogs even when they would run into her garage and practically jump in the car to see her. She will be missed greatly. With sympathy, Scott and Jayne Watkins (neighbors)
