Ellie left for Heaven on December 21, 2008, after a thankfully, brief battle with cancer at Greeley Golden Living Center. She was preceded in death by her parents, 4 brothers and a sister. She was born on June 23, 1923 in Hills, MN. One of 8 children, she grew up on a farm and attended a one-room school. On December 23, 1944, she married Martin and spent the next 51 years as the wife of an Army officer. Daddy passed away on March 21, 1995. She continued to live in the ?Big House? growing beautiful flowers and feeding the many birds in her feeders and birdbaths, she even fed a tame chipmunk she called her ?dog?. She enjoyed playing Bingo, and ?Instant Cash? slot machines at Turtle Lake Casino. She loved baking bread, and made the best pies and cookies. She always gave thoughtful gifts and sent the sweetest cards and notes. She called her family and friends daily to ?keep up? with all of us. She watched all city council, school board, and county board meetings and then called the council members, mayors, board members and superintendant if she didn?t like what went on.
