Ross (nee’ Grossberger), Ellen J., age 64, of Atlanta, GA died August 18, 2018 after a brief illness. Originally from Miami, FL, she’s been a resident of Atlanta for over 20 years. She will be missed by beloved cousins, aunts, and uncles in Miami and many lifelong friends in Atlanta and across the country. She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert & Marilyn Grossberger of Miami, FL.
Ellen grew up in Miami and attended Coral Gables High School, the University of South Florida (BA, Education), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (MS, Education). She moved to Atlanta because it was a vibrant city that supported both her love of the outdoors with its mild climate allowing her to enjoy sports & weekend jaunts to the mountains and her love of the arts. She put down her roots and developed a network of devoted friends.
When not working in her marketing career, she pursued her interests in education by volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlanta as a big sister and by volunteering for Hands on Atlanta as a project assistant.
The funeral service will be held at Riverside Gordon at Mt. Nebo Kendall on Thursday August 23, 2018 at 12:00pm
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the ASPCA; Big Brothers & Sisters in Atlanta; or the Alliance Theater in Atlanta
