Ellie was a passionate nurse and an accomplished artist of various crafts. She was a member of the Sault Potters’ Guild for 18 years, and her original hooked rugs toured the province with the Ontario Crafts Council. Her other artistic pursuits included stained-glass, sewing, crochet, piano, and painting.
