Dear Aunt Ellen, you will be deeply missed.  I loved the stories you told and the wonderful family memories shared.

Prayers go out to the family Ellen  . She  was always a great baker and was kind to our family at church gathering she will be missed … sending love out to all her children ,grandchildren and great grandchildren Nicky miller

You will be missed.  Your kindness never went unnoticed.  We will miss your smile, Christmas card and your baking skills! Love, Glen and family

Mom was the true example of love, grace and strength. Though she was motherly to all,  she chose to make me hers. That choice was the greatest gift of my life and it’s why I am who I am today. 

She was living example of a proverbs 31 woman. She was steadfast in her faith,  loving, and  tireless in her work. She wasn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves - baking for hours each week for our church, tuck pointing our house, or staining endless piles of wood to build our homes. Everything she did she did with purpose, humility, and love.

Everyone that knew her, was blessed. She was a resource of unwavering love, wisdom, and guidance. 

For many, she was our foundation. She leaves behind a legacy of faith and devotion that can’t be measured. 

I will always be grateful for her example of what it meant to be a mother, a woman, and a servant of God. 

While my heart is heavy with sorrow, I know she was filled with joy to hear “well done ,good and faithful servant”.

I find myself searching for the words to express the immensity of this loss, but they feel too small. Losing you is like losing a piece of our history, a living connection to the stories and traditions that built our family. It's a sorrow that echoes through the generations you loved and nurtured. My heart aches with a grief that I know is not mine alone, but is a shared river of sadness flowing through every person whose life you touched.Your presence was a sanctuary, a quiet warmth that made everything feel right in the world. I will always remember the sound of your laugh and the feeling of your hand holding mine, a gentle, knowing touch that made me feel so deeply seen. You taught us that life's true treasures are found not in things, but in the simple, quiet moments of love shared over a kitchen table.You were the root of our family tree, and in your absence, we feel the earth shift beneath our feet. But though the roots are no longer visible, we know the tree still stands because of the strength you gave it. We will carry your legacy in our love for one another, in the kindness we show to strangers, and in the traditions we pass down to those who come after us.This goodbye is so very hard, but I find comfort in knowing that you are finally at peace, reunited with those you have missed for so long. Your story is now a treasured memory, a guiding light for us all.I will love you forever and miss you for all my days.

A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again“In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts, you hold a place. No one else will ever fill.” “Forever in our hearts great grandma ♥️
