Millicent A. Ellerbusch

She graduated from Newburgh High School and was a lifelong member of Zion United Church of Christ, where she attended Sunday School and was a member of the Women’s Guild. Millicent was a fantastic cook, enjoyed her huge garden, flowers and crafting. She was a survivor which made her fiercely independent and ready to take on any challenge.

Millicent was preceded in death by her husband, Otto Ellerbusch; sister, Dorothy Tweedy, and brothers, Orville Grimm and Howard Grimm.

She is survived by her son, David Ellerbusch (Patty); daughter, Mary Bischoff (Tod); grandchildren, Jennifer Moneymaker (Jason), Laura Schnur (Eric) and Andrew Ellerbusch; great grandchildren, Carter, Jude and Millicent Schnur and Beckett Moneymaker; and her nieces, nephews, all whom she loved.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of the West Unit at Newburgh Healthcare for their compassionate care.
