She was known as “Gramma Ellie” to numerous other special children. Ellie attended Cambria-Corydon School. But when she graduated in 1967 it had become Wayne Community School. Following high school she attended the University of Iowa at Iowa City, Morningside College at Sioux City, Scarritt College in Nashville, Tennessee and St. Paul Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri. She was ordained as a deacon and then later as an elder in the United Methodist Church. She served in several churches in Kansas, including; Goff, Wetmore, Saffordville, Cottonwood Falls, Bazaar, Tisdale, Pittsburg First Associate, Wesley House and then retired from ministry in 2014. Her ministry focused on the rural, small churches, the youth and the disadvantaged. She was active in church work at all levels as well as community organizations like Kiwanis Club, PEO, WAYCO Arts Council, and Corydon United Methodist Church Bell Choir. Ellie lived life to the fullest and enjoyed making it possible for others to enjoy life as well. She would make herself available to others who were in need. When Ellie retired she moved home to Corydon. She came home to be close to her Iowa family. She bought a small house and was enjoying fixing it up with her personal touch. She returned to the small country church that helped mold her life, the New Zion United Methodist Church.
