Ellie passed peacefully July 1st, 2020 at Midland Hospital surrounded by wonderful, caring, incredible Medical Staff
Through her too short life, she gathered an incredible number of friends through her church and other groups. Her legacy is her love of life. Her positive attitude ability to inspire sense of loyalty, patience and determination, made her not only a fabulous Mother, Daughter, Sister, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, but a great friend to all. She was not one to complain about her many health issues and was a great listener. When you are friends with Ellie, you’re a friend for life!
Her life was a living example of bible verse from Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind and compassionate to one another forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ “
She leaves behind Sisters Irene and Ruth. Ellie is survived by sons Bernard and Richard, Daughter-in-laws Linda and Debby, Grandchildren Katie, Robert, Robyn and Tricia and Great Grandchildren Jack and Hunter.
Although she is no longer with us in this world, she will always be in our hearts; remembered and not forgotten.
