Dear Daryl and Family,

We are so saddened to hear of your loss. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Grace and Chuck Langstaff

I came to know Ellen by working with her at Tomlinson sales in North Myrtle Beach. She was my department manager. We hit it off right away. She was so proud of her family. She always got excited whenever Cameron and the children were coming down for a visit. During one of the times, she talked about what colors to paint the walls and she was looking for new comforters for the beds.  I looked forward to going to work on the days I knew she would be working as well. We did a lot of laughing, while we worked. She comforted me when I was going through some rough times.  On my last day at Tomlinsons (her day off) she left me the sweetest note.  I still have that note. I did not know until today that Ellen had passed away. I left the 8:30 church service a little early to go over to the 9:30 service to say hello. Boy was I shocked when I heard of her passing.  I know Ellen loved her family and her Lord. Rest in peace my friend. 

I met Ellen when she first started her excellent teaching career in Utica Ohio.  May God bless and comfort the family as you celebrate a life well lived.  

What a wonderful person truly dedicated to everything she did she was a great employee at Tomlinson sales I will always remember her love to her children and especially her grandchildren may god continue to bless you at the time

She was one of my absolutely favorite teachers. She was tough but kind and taught me at a very early age (4th grade at Avery Elementary in Hilliard, Ohio) to believe in myself. I enjoyed her support throughout life - even as my pen pal over that past few years. Mrs. Stinemetz - thank you for the love, support and believing in me too. I will miss you and your letters dearly. 

I hope my mom was there to welcome you to heaven......

Ellen will be greatly missed.  My mother (who is 98) still mentions that Ellen taught a lesson on unconditional love and helped Mom totally understand it. She was a great teacher. She loved her children, and her eyes lit up when she talked about her grandchildren.  She is truly missed.

Sweet Ellen! We met at Little River Methodist Church. Ellen, a friend and mentor to so many; a very special kind of friend for me. We have been Facebook friends since my hubby and I moved back to Maine. I visited her when I went back to the Carolinas to visit family and that was a very happy reunion for us.
I pray that her lovely family is comforted by my love for her and for the fond memories they have for God loving Ellen who shared knowledge,  gave so much of herself and remains in the hearts of many.♥️

For a beautiful person I've known for many years. She was like an Aunt to me.  Always had a smile and a great Mom to learn things from. I highly enjoyed all the time and memories I had with her when visiting Daryl and Yvonne. Like Daryl said, Heaven has another Angel. 

Ellen was a cousin to me, Prayers to the family.   

Prayers to the family for your loss. I know Daryl, Christian and Cameron always looked forward to their visits and have many fond memories to treasure.

I met Ellen when she brought Yvonne to my VBS class at St. Mark's UMC in Columbus Ohio.  Whenever I think of Ellen I see a snapshot of her with a huge smile and eyes twinkling with fun.  She was full of fun, faith and love. 
Yvonne, I am sending you a big hug and prayers that your precious memories of your mom will bring you comfort. 

I knew Ellen from St. Marks UMC in Columbus,Ohio. Ellen was one of the first to greet me when I started going to St. Marks. Ellen made me feel like family right away, it was definitely one of her great assets. Although I haven’t seen her in several years, I have always had a special place in my heart for her and her family. 
Prayers and Blessings to All

Hi this is one of Ellen co- worker We were sorry to hear of her passing. I just want to tell family she spoke of you all.you could tell she loved you all, May god give you the strength to face each day.

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know Ellen this summer during vacation bible school at LRUMC. She not only was instrumental in creating the skits our group performed, she offered her heart and soul into the essence of our task so we achieved greatness. 

Albeit our paths crossed momentarily, she left a positive and memorable mark. 

I will miss her greatly. 

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
