Ellen loved her family and community so much. Taking care of her family was always first.

She was active in her church and loved her group the Go-Go Girls. She had a passion for cooking for her friends and family. You couldn't leave their house without being offered something to eat with a cup of coffee. Ellen had many talents aside from being the best cook and homemaker. She could make the most beautiful jewelry among so many other things. She also had a huge heart for her neighbors and children. They brought her so much joy. She will always be remembered by taking care of others before herself.

Her kindness and love will be forever unmatched.

Her services will be at Botkin Hornback Funeral Home on Thursday, June 23rd. Calling hours are from 12pm to 1pm. Funeral service at 1 and burial to follow at the Evergreen Union Cemetery on Bridge St.
