She often acted as my spiritual advisor, but…


During her last days, Mary Ellen insisted I use  a designer make up foundation for my face . 
As I leaned over her while she was bedridden,  and  I was attempting to console HER,  she commented on the the brown spots on my face 
and advised me to apply her makeup  to my face.

I did , with much  improvement to my appearance as per those present.

It made me laugh. To the end, Mary Ellen was
concerned not only  about my spiritual life. but also  a fashionable appearance on my part.
To this day, I wear the makeup she recommended that day when I “dress up”.

Mary Ellen  Thank you  and  RIP.



Maryellen was such a loving friend to me and my family. She was a blessing to all those  the Lord put in her path.  She was a true reflection of His love, grace and hospitality.

A special memory was being invited to her home for "real paella", as she put it. It was delicious.

Sending prayers of comfort to her friends and family as they grieve her loss.




Mary Ellen, with her wonderful and exuberant personality approached David and me and mass one day at St. Agnes. She invited us for coffee after mass one day and we happily obliged. Little did we know that she would be a kindred spirit, our love of French, traveling, Paris, and life united us. Through our conversations, it seemed as if Mary Ellen was able to know both of us very deeply in the short time we knew her. She will be loved, missed, and remembered for as long as David and I are on this earth; she has truly changed our lives for the better.
Bisous,
David and Emma

Mary Ellen will be remembered for so many things, such a full accomplished life. But I believe it was her permanent smile that won so many over. She would call you by name. She truly loved her family, friends and colleagues. An outstanding teacher, who dedicated herself to helping her students come to love, as much as she did, languages. Spanish I would say was her favorite. And some of her students whom I met in years past, had mastered the language, and then wanted to travel to Spain to immerse themselves in the language in daily life. So that  does say much to her quality of teaching. She will be missed, but remembered.

Full of wit, elegant, loyal, empathetic, prayerful, delighted by life itself no matter how it came... This is how we remember Mary Ellen since we met her in 2002. 
Always willing to help, she has got now what she long asked our Lord for: a joyful, everlasting life among Friends she was able to make since her early days here on Earth... 
Now she made Teresa's words her life: "those who are saved, know it all. Those who don't, know nothing at all". 

It's the best time. It's wedding time! Let the spotless celebration begin forever, truly! 
Rest in Joy, dear Mary Ellen
