She was born Nov. 4, 1938, in Outlook. Ellen attended Sunnyside High School and graduated in 1956. In her young life, she loved working with the thoroughbred horses her family trained. She attended Airline Stewardess School in California and worked at Western Aviation. She married Ralph in August 1963. Ralph worked for Boeing and 3 months after they were married, he was transferred to New Orleans, LA, where they lived for a year and a half and where their daughter, Kim was born. In 1965, they moved back to Kent and in 1966, their son, Rob was born. Except for 14 months when they lived in Sunnyside, they lived most of their lives in the Seattle area where Ralph worked and retired from Boeing. Ellen worked at Longacres at the Grandstand, in food service, then worked at Boeing as a tool room clerk for 17 years. She retired from Boeing in 1993. She enjoyed dancing, singing around the campfire, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and family time. After retirement, Ralph and Ellen traveled to Alaska, went on several cruises, traveled around the USA for a year in their fifth-wheel trailer, traveled to Mexico, and saw everything they wanted to see. She also traveled to Hawaii, England, and Scotland. They later spent winters in Casa Grande, AZ, (where she enjoyed "jam" sessions, line dancing group, golfing, and being Queen Mum of a Red Hat Society group) and summers at home in Auburn with their family. In 2003 they settled in Yelm to be near their family, where she spent her remaining years. She was a member of the Yelm Community choir, loved karaoke (every Wednesday and Friday at the Moose Lodge), bowling, camping, and spending time with Ralph and her family. She loved going anywhere and she loved carnival rides and driving slick track cars and bumper cars at the ocean. Above, almost anything else, she loved her dog, Buddy. Ellen and Ralph were married 52 years and she was the love of our dad's life. She was the greatest mom, grandma, great-grandma, and everyone's biggest cheerleader. She is greatly loved and will be terribly missed. She is survived by her husband, Ralph; her daughter, Kim (Ed) Bailey; her son, Rob (Cyndi) Burwell; her grandchildren – Dustin, Ashley, Cheyenne, Brandon, Heather, Yvette, Chris, Michelle, and Aaron; and 26 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Joe (Beverly) Baze; sister, Bertie Howry; sister-in-law, Dot Beck; and many nieces and nephews. Ellen was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Albert "Bert" and Mable Lucille "Bunt" (James) Baze; her brothers, Melvin, Carl, Earl, and Kenny; sister, Alice; and great-grandson, William. Services will be held at Weeks Dryer Mortuary in Tacoma, on April 16, at 11 am. A dinner will follow afterward at the Yelm Moose Lodge. Burial services will be at Tahoma National Cemetery on Monday, April 18. Your beautiful voice will be missed here, but now we know you are singing with the angels.
