I am thinking of you today, Aunt Ellen - not just today, but every day.  I miss your sweet voice, and your uplifting spirit.  Helen and Drake have sweet memories of the times they both spent visiting with you on Blair.

I miss our our long talks, and hearing your sweet voice.  We were very close, something I will always hold dear.  I am so glad my children were able to spend time with you when you were  little.   I am thinking of you today, and always.  Your niece - Terri Caldwell

Thinking of you today Aunt Ellen.  Love you, Terri Caldwell

I didn’t get to know you well until your (our) later years , but to know you , was to love you. Kindness oozed from your every bone and everyone loved you for it! You took my mom in as a friend and showed her the kindness you would have shown a life long friend. I know this because I actually knew a life long friend, Liz. I heard the trials you both went through, but it never diminished your love for each other. I feel truly blessed to have known you and called you a friend! We ARE going to miss Ms. Ellen, but I know your warm smile is looking down from heaven to warm our souls. Love you, baby, and we’ll see you soon!

Condolences to Gloria and family for this dear sweet lady who I know is in the everlasting arms of the Lord.

Ellen Jean Collins, the woman who didn’t have a bad bone in her body and the woman that loved everyone. Her heart was huge and full of love, she’d help anyone, anyway she possibly could.  She believed everyone was a good person, no matter of their past. Not only was she my grandmother, but also a mother figure to me. She was always there for me, she always supported me, and she always loved me. There will never be another Ellen, she’s irreplaceable. I know she was right with the man above, and that she was proud of. There will not be a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. You have a very special spot in my heart that no one will ever replace. Whomever got the chance to talk to you, talked to a very down to earth, and loving person. All the memories will never be forgotten, and the love for you will never grow old. To the best grandmother, I love you deeply and I hope you’re a ease now.❤️

To the most amazing lady to bless this earth. She was a bright light to everyone that met her. 
She was the best daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, and grandmother. 
I am thankful for the wonderful memories and I will cherish those forever. 
Without her love, support and guidance I wouldn’t be who I am today. 
She was the glue of our family. 
She always did for others and she was everyone’s Mawmaw. 
Growing up with Mawmaw and spending my youth with her, is the only thing that shaped me and gave me a solid foundation. 
I have missed you and I will forever miss you. 
I am thankful you are at peace and can finally rest.  🙏🏻💗

I love you Mawmaw

I thank my God everytime I think of you - Philippians 1:3

My aunt Ellen was the sweetest,kindest woman anyone would love to have met always with a beautiful smile on her face, she will be greatly greatly missed by so many people she was definitely the matriarch  of the Collins family,

Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed

Love, Helen Caldwell

My Great Aunt will be missed.  I remember the many visits with her on Blair.  I was born at 5 months and 3 weeks, I was very sick, and on life support for 4 months.  My Great Aunt gave my mom encouragement, and she visited me while I was in the hospital.  She always was concerned about me and my health.  I knew she loved me, and she knew I loved her.  My heart goes out to her family.
With great sympathy,  Drake Caldwell

Our deepest sympathy to the family- as the days continue to pass, we hope you find support, comfort, and love in the people that surround you and the wonderful memories you carry in your mind and in your heart.  The many conversations that my aunt and I had will forever remain in my memory - we laughed and we cried...she was an inspiration, a strong woman.  The last Applegate matriarch has left us, but her wisdom will remain in our hearts forever.

With Love, Terri Applegate Caldwell and William Caldwell

"Mama" Ellen was such a true blessing to know, she was always quick to greet me with a hug.  And she had the gift of encouragement making me feel special with her kind words. I will miss her dearly, and look forward to meeting her in heaven someday.

I loved Ellen, she was as kind and sweet as they come! Always a smile. May God welcome you home sweet lady, may you rejoice with your family there in heaven! I pray for your children, I know you loved them all dearly. I pray they remember all the love you had for them and how much they meant to you. Rest In Peace you beautiful sweet lady! 

My condolences to Ellen’s family. I always looked up to Ellen. She was always such a beautiful and classy lady! I was very young when I spent time with her but I remember her very fondly. 
Prayers for your loss at this sad time.
