Ellen will be remembered for her big heart, adorable anxious laugh and giant smile. Born in San Diego, she was an open minded optimist. She loved to sing and dance, spend time with family and friends, the occasional round of Texas Hold ‘em, volunteering her time during elections and caring for her four-legged friends.
She was a proud Grammie and loved spending time with her four granddaughters. Ellen is survived by her two sons, Joseph (Elizabeth) Fife and Richard (Amanda) Fife and granddaughters Arya Fife, Elle Fife, Melody Fife and Scottie Fife.
