Ellen was a longtime afterschool care volunteer at Incarnate Word Academy. Her love of working with the public found her as dedicated and oft-requested server at Nino’s of North Ridgeville and various other restaurants in the Cleveland area for many years. Ellen’s smile lit up a room, and her generous, caring demeanor endeared her to all she met. Of course, her deep faith and family meant everything to her. She was so very loved and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to Hospice of the Western Reserve www.hospicewr.org.
