Elinor Marie Pressler

Ellie was born on March 9, 1951, in Lawrence, Massachusetts to the late Walter and Jennie Flanagan. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband and Buddy, Ken Pressler. She leaves behind a family whom she loved fiercely. This includes her daughter, Jennifer (Lucas) McNeil, of Franklin, her step-son, Joseph (Leanna) Pressler of Jacksonburg, and her grandchildren, Messer and Larkin McNeil, and Sydney (Ryan) Forbush. She is survived by her sister, Joan French of Danville, Virginia, brother-in-law, Tom (Bev) Pressler of Middletown, sister-in-law, Bonnie (John) Davies of Miamisburg, and several nieces and nephews.

Ellie was a class of ‘69 graduate from Middletown High School. She retired from Square D Company, worked for Wren Care, and later held her favorite title as full time Nana. She enjoyed decorating, crafting, reading, hosting get-togethers, and spending time with her family. She lit up the world and will be deeply missed.

The family will receive visitors to celebrate Ellie’s life between 5:30 and 7:30 on July 14th at Anderson Funeral Home in Franklin. It will end with words and a prayer by Dennis McNeil.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be sent to Ohio's Hospice of Dayton, Crisis Care, 324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH 45420.
