I’m thinking of Ellen today and all the wonderful times the Gang of Four ( Ellen, Nancy, Judi, and I) had over all the years.  Many fun fraternity parties at Merrimack with our future husbands. We managed to stay in touch after graduation in 1963. Those are life-long friendships.
I think of Ellen with affection for the loving, intelligent, brave woman she was.
Her legacy is her beautiful family who will carry on those traits.
I miss her…

Our deepest condolences to you all. Ellen has been a special part of lives for many years here in Dennis.... and, in the small world dept., she is a mutual friend of my college roommate and classmates from Lowell. Bridge, bridge,bridge (couples, marathon and duplicate), Garden Club and golf....all kept us busy and laughing.  She was a terrific friend and will be sorely missed by so many.  RIP, dearest Ellen! You are in our thoughts and our prayers!
