STERLING / SOUTH YARMOUTH - Ellen (Hastings) Landini died peacefully at home in South Yarmouth on July 22, 2019 at the age of 75.

Ellen was born in Ayer, MA. She graduated from Littleton High School in 1961 and University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1965, with a degree in Psychology. She married the love of her life in 1966. After college, Ellen worked as a social worker before staying home to raise her two children in Sterling MA, where she was blessed with many wonderful friends. Later, she worked at Flagship Bank, working her way up to AVP of Private Banking. Ellen loved to travel and read and late night games of Pitch with her family. She loved dogs, especially Newfoundlands, gardening and the beaches of Cape Cod, where she and her husband retired to and were fortunate to again find a supportive neighborhood community. Ellen was a quiet, gentle woman who was quick to smile and laugh, especially with her husband, who she adored more than anything. Ellen fought a long battle with Alzheimer’s but never forgot how to love. Ellen’s children and grandchildren will miss her immensely.

Memorial calling hours will be held at Miles-Sterling Funeral Home & Tribute Center, 100 Worcester Rd., Sterling, MA from 4-6pm on Wednesday, July 31st.

The family is extremely grateful for the compassion and grace of the Visiting Nurse Association Hospice of Cape Cod. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Alzheimer’s Association 309 Waverly Oaks Road, Waltham, MA 02452.

Ellen was very proud of her Irish heritage. “And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
