Ellen was an exceptional mother and grandmother, who took pride in her family. She often gave when she really had nothing to give, and she loved all her family deeply. When she was younger, Ellen and her sisters sang as a trio with their stellar voices they had and kept it coming for all to hear! Her piano playing and singing was one of which her daughter Laura Will miss. As a child, she sat right next to her mother, and listened to every key and every note. To this day she can still hear her sing. Her oldest son John played football in high school. And growing up they listened to the radio for John's jersey number, as he ran to make a touch down. She was so proud of her son! Her other son Craig ran track in high school, along with John, and ran circles around those who thought they could beat him. Ellen knew that no one could. She took pride in her son's quest for track. Ellen loved and still loves all of us that she has shared her life with. She looks over us with love & awaits as the time we reunite with her. She is strong, loved & empowered by the love we have for her. Hold Gods hand Mother he will guide you to the place you await for. We love mom, grandma, sister, and friend.
