She was a devoted daughter and wife and a loving and supportive mother, grandmother and sister.

Ellen, in her working days managed Honingsbaums in Stuyvesant Plaza, and went on after they closed to learn new skills and worked as a receptionist. She was an avid sports fan, she enjoyed bowling and especially loved/hated watching the NY Yankees and NY Giants. Ellen loved to travel to Florida to visit her siblings and enjoy the warmth and sunshine. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and friends from the gym.
