I'll always remember Ellen as living life to the fullest. Like this gigantic pecan tree cut from her property, she was larger than life. She had a beautiful heart and soul that always found the brighter side of any situation. Her smile was contagious and her memory will live on in all those who were fortunate to know her. Rest in peace my dearest friend
