Ellen’s family was her life. Ellen had worked for FedEx for 25 years where she made some extremely close friends. Ellen's amazing smile and personality caused a number of return customers over the years, where additional friendships were created. She was considered the mom of the group and would occasionally bring some of her leftover meals to share with her co-workers or a number of the MPD beat cops, that would regularly stop in for a cup of coffee, conversation and Ellen's cooking. She was also incredibly patriotic. In lieu of flowers memorials in Ellen’s name to the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight (https://www.starsandstripeshonorflight.org/donate/) are greatly appreciated.
