So sorry to hear of Ellen’s passing. It has been many years since I have seen her but will never forget how her smile lit up a room.  Rest easy Ellen

Had many encounters with Ellen when she called on me as a pharmaceutical representative. Always a warm, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable rep. Later in contact with her in her nursing capacity; never met a kinder, more upbeat, caring, selfless person. I prayed for her survival, daily. Now that she has gone to her eternal reward I know she will be plugging away up there for all her family and friends. My wife Patti, and I, extend our sincerest condolences to Ellen’s family. Our memories of her will never fade. M Ragusa, M.D.

Wishing all of Ellen's family and friends God's Peace. Our hearts are heavy with loss, but faith tells us she has a new life. Sending Scotty, Griffin and all a Big Hug and much love🌹 XXXXXOOOOOO

Ellen was a beautiful soul and such a compassionate care giver in all the years I have known her. She will be greatly missed by many of us. Sending my deepest sympathy to her family. 
This years Roswell ride will be to Honor you my friend. Rest in peace Ellen.

So sorry, Scotty and Griff. Ellen was the best, the most caring health care provider and one of the nicest human beings to walk in Gods light as an exceptional Christian Wife and Mom. She’s now with Karen in Heaven
Uncle Ken

Ellen was great to work with at the hospital, such a kind and caring person. My deepest sympathy to her family at this difficult time. May her spirit soar with the angels and rest in peace.

Ellen was a dear friend and former coworker. I skated in her honor last year at The 11 Day Power Play (raises money for Roswell Park cancer research). I will skate in her memory this year for my shift.

I still remember taking this picture as Griffin was running thru the botanical gardens and Ellen grabbed him and they captured this sweet memory.

Beautiful heart and soul.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen".

Ellen had a heart of gold..gone way too soon. R.I.P.

We have shared so many good times since we met in freshmen year of High School. You are one of the most beautiful friends anyone could ask for. I cherish all the memories and little El-ism sayings and quotes.  I can't close my eyes without picturing you or one of your sayings.  I love and appreciate you more than you will ever know. Enjoy eternity with your Mom, you deserve to be at peace and out of pain but will be missed by so many.
Until we meet again,
Betty-Sue Crock-O-............
