We met Harry and Ellen 26+ years ago as new residents of HSV. Also a quilter I became a member of the Rippers and Strippers AND a Razorback fan I have wonderful memories to dwell on. Ellen was fortunate to have such a caring family.

I consider myself very blessed to have known and cooked with Ellen in Helping Hands at the Kirk, and to enjoy a meal with Harry and Ellen in their lovely home. Ellen was a mentor and role model for me. I send deepest condolences to her family.

Ellen was a friend for many years. We first met in Germany, taught together there and then ended up living in Hot Springs along with the Marshalls. We shared so many wonderful meals and family times together. Fond memories will always be there.
