Ellen was united in marriage to Daniel on April 16, 1994. She worked in numerous accounting positions throughout the city of Madison. Her family was her greatest joy. Ellen was a great wife and the best mom to her two sons. Family time, whether it was watching TV, sitting down to dinner every night, laughing at the stories of everyone's day, going on walks with Dan, taking the boys to school or watching their athletic events, each moment was precious to Ellen.
