Ellie was born and raised in Scranton, PA. She met her husband Don at Al's Rose Room. Don always said that she was peeking at him from across the bar through a rack of potato chips! And so the romance began. The happy couple were married in Newark, NJ on April 29, 1961. They made their home in Milford, CT until 1996, then moved to Vero Beach, FL for their retirement years. Ellie enjoyed taking cruises, Sunday afternoon drives, and visiting with church friends, and neighbors. Ellie was an active member of Saint Helen's Catholic Church in Vero Beach, FL for 21 years.
In 2017, two years after her husband's passing, Ellie moved to Arizona to be near her sister Bernadine and niece Denise.
