Mary Ellen Weyhe

Mary Ellen was a wonderful wife who loved her Lord and her family endlessly. She enjoyed going on vacations and watching sunsets on the beach with her husband. Everyone who knew Mary Ellen was touched by her kindness and willingness to help anyone in need. She always said that there were no “steps in this family” and treated everyone the same. Mary Ellen loved her grandchildren and great-children whole heartedly. She enjoyed going to their birthday parties and being a part of their lives. She was a great conversationalist as well as a fierce prayer warrior.

While Mary Ellen will be dearly missed by all who knew her, she would want everyone to know that she was more than prepared and eager to meet her Lord and Savior.
