It is with the deepest regret that we announce the death of our beloved mother. Ellen Joan, of Beavercreek, passed away Monday, April 12, 2021. Born in Hamilton, Ohio on July 23, 1934, Ellen leaves behind her children: daughters Sydna Lee Freund and Lisa Tandy Herren, and her son Philip Edwin Herren . She is also survived by her brother John Edwin Ebinger, her grandchildren Jonathan, David, and Andrew Freund, Joshua Curtis Schmidt, and Elena Kay and John Philip Herren, many extended family members, and a wonderful community of friends. Preceding Ellen in death is her husband of 47 years, Philip Curtis ‘Kip” Herren; the love of her life.
Wife, mother, friend and fierce competitor, she leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion and dogged determination.
Never one to shy away from a good time, she played as hard as she worked. Her generous spirit and her devotion to her family and friends, will be sorely missed.
Arrangements are through the Tobias Funeral Home in Beavercreek, there will be no in-person service at this time. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of Dayton (www.hospiceofdayton.org), The American Red Cross (www.redcross.org) or the World Wildlife Fund (www.worldwildlife.org).
