So sorry to hear of Ellie's passing. We had the good fortune to know both Ellie and Ollie, and in fact still have their 26 ft. O'Day sailboat.

Cindy, Karen, and Susan,

I pulled up the obituary and when I saw the picture of your Mom, a big smile came across my face. That smile was Ellie! I have so many memories of her over the years. I particularly cherish how she made sure Barbara could be involved in all the girlhood antics of our friends in Newport. (She carried her up those steep stairs at Pollards for some kind of slumber party, I remember! We were probably 8 or so).
I'm sure many people have so much love in their hearts for her. I'm grateful for her long life.

Ellie, your journey has just begun,
Meeting so many old faces will be fun.
New faces too you never knew.
We hold our glasses high and salute to you!
Ellie you gave me such a beautiful prize
I've laugh with her until tears fill my eyes.
Go my friend with that infectious charm,
We will see you soon, to hold you in our arms!
