She was a kind soul, but her softest spot was for animals and her greatest love was for the various dogs she had the pleasure of caring for over her life. Ellen enjoyed working in the garden, creating stained glass and playing with her dogs. Ellen was a longtime friend of Bill W. and wanted to thank those who were also his friend and let them know what a difference they made in her life.
