She joined her older sister, Rosemary, in the same South Omaha home that her paternal grandparents lived in. She attended St. Mary's Catholic grade school and then attended and graduated from Archbishop Ryan High School in 1962. She wanted to go to Omaha South High School like her father, her sister, and many of her friends, but her parents insisted on sending her to the recently opened Catholic high school in South Omaha. After graduating from high school and taking a short business course, Ellen joined the workforce, working in a few different offices, including Central National Insurance Company and Physicians Mutual in Omaha. It was there she met several women who would become her lifelong friends. She married Gary Echtenkamp on October 22, 1966, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in South Omaha. They made their home in Elkhorn, Nebraska. Gary passed away on September 28, 1970, from Hodgkin's Disease. Ellen continued to live in the house on Mary St. in Elkhorn after his death. A young Elkhorn-area farmer, Roger Quinn, inquired about purchasing Gary's car, a 1966 Ford Galaxy 500, with a manual transmission, which Ellen could not drive. Roger bought the car and then later asked for a date. They married on January 6, 1973, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Elkhorn. And she got the Ford back again, which she could not drive. The couple was blessed with their first child, a son, Russell William. A daughter, Kolleen Kaye, joined the family and the family was completed with another daughter, Maureen Megan. Ellen owned an in-home daycare, beginning in 1981. She operated Ellen's Daycare for 35 years and cared for literally hundreds of children all over the area. Ellen was extremely proud of Irish ancestry. She was 100% Irish and decorated her home with various Irish items. Roger and Ellen even took a trip to Ireland in 2005. She bowled on Monday evenings in a women's league in Elkhorn for several decades with another group of women who would also become her lifelong friends. Ellen was also a wonderful baker - people often requested her famous chocolate chip cookies. She also loved taking care of a back deck full of plants and flowers. She was active in her church of St. Patrick's. She baked goodies for the popular Bingo nights many years ago and more recently sang in the church choir. Ellen insisted the family always attend Mass - it didn't matter where they were. Even on vacations, a Catholic Church had to be found. In later years, she enjoyed attending her grandchildren's various events. While vision and cognitive issues slowed her down, she did still enjoy spending time with family and friends.
