Ellen was a devoted mother and loving wife who dedicated her life to her family. She was an avid reader and loved her crossword puzzles especially at her favorite vacation spot Montauk, New York. Ellen always enjoyed the challenge of a math problem and was as happy to solve it as well as teach it. She also had a love for her Elkhounds.
