Mary Ellen Hartmann

Ellen was preceded in death by her first husband Dirk A. Silsbee, her second husband Thomas E. Hartmann; her parents Jack Delaney and mother Patricia Kelly Delaney, three sisters Joanne Maytidu, Kathy Beogershausen, and Jackie Hughes.

Born in Newark, NJ, Ellen lived in Point Pleasant, and Toms River before moving to Wellington FL in August of 1985.

She had many friends from her time in Wellington & Green Acres. Her past times were vast and fascinating like Mahjong, Rummikub, Bocci, Cards, dominoes, trivia, crossword puzzles and so many more games to keep her mind sharp and agile. She also was an avid reader and often read several books at once. All these things gave her joy every day she could do them.

In May 2022, she moved North to Tallahassee, to reside at Mulligan Park Independent Living facility, where she made friends fast, and emersed herself in her new home. She kept very active, happy, and social during her time there. A piece of her heart always remained in South Florida where she lived for thirty-eight years.

Ellen was special to so many, her sweet, kind, loving legacy will carry on in the hearts and lives of her family and friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor & laughed often. She is resting in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Ellen is survived by her brother Dick Delaney(Luisa), her daughter Janine Voss, son Darren Silsbee(Karen), daughter Shannon Udell (Alex), and son Kyle Hartmann(Stacy), eleven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, as well as many loving nieces and nephews. She also had many special cousins in NJ and FL. Family was everything to her.
