Ellie lived the last six years at Victorian Trails. She loved the special friends she made there. Ellie loved watching old TV re-runs like Gunsmoke and old movies from her era. Her favorite sports teams were the Michigan Wolverines and Florida Gators. She loved reading, putting together puzzles with her apartment friends and she was an avid card player. Just a few months ago she was zip lining with her daughter, Margie and a bunch of close friends and relatives. She was preceded in death by her husband Andy in 2008, her parents, two brothers and four sisters. She will leave a void in all the lives she touched.
