Mines Baptist Church and her faith saw her through all life’s
challenges. She served as the treasurer for the Hillsborough
Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch #32. Ellen
was a very talented Artist and drew many pictures for her
family to treasure. She enjoyed many adventures with Craig,
her children and grandchildren, and many of her friends. She
became a travel buff and found happiness in organizing, researching,
and exploring new places. Ellen’s greatest gift was her
family. Although she wasn’t the type to show
affection, she was there for them without hesitation and with much
love. Ellen was grateful to have Craig, her children, and
grandchildren as her support system. They brought joy to her life
everyday and allowed her to live her life to the fullest until the
end. She was so happy to see her son, Ryan and
daughter-in-law Jade, be married on January 9th,
2021, it meant everything to her. “The love in our
family flows strong and deep, leaving us memories to cherish and
keep.”

grandchildren, Chance, Blaze, Scott, Madeline, William, and Nicholas.
She will also be missed by several nieces and nephews and by many good
