Family and friends will remember Ellie for the love and dedication to her Lord and Savior, her kindness demonstrated by nurturing, helping and encouraging others, a cheerful attitude and her love for children. She was very patriotic, loving the country of her birth, Canada, and also the USA when she became an American Citizen in 1965. She was a faithful member of Salem Baptist Church and enjoyed singing in the choir for many years.
