My condolences to Mary Ellen's family. I first met Mary Ellen when my husband introduced us, this was before I started my nursing career at Franklin Square Hospital. She actually helped me get my first job there after graduating. I loved both Emmy and Patrick ever since then. She was a big part of our lives. Shared laughs, tears, travels, good and bad times together. I miss her so much. Many times I want to call her and share some funny things that have happened at times. Things that I know she would love to hear.

Mary Ellen was my co-worker for years in the 1990s in the ICU at Franklin Square. I remember working one weekend, and my Bassett hound, Freddy, had just passed. I was sad that day at work. Later that day, Mary Ellen had a name of a breeder in the area that had a litter of Bassett hound pups. I told Mary Ellen that it was too soon. Three weeks later, after work, Mary Ellen, one of her daughters, and I were on our way to Ferndale to pick up my new Freddy. I loved Mary Ellen and will miss her so much. She was such a great person, friend, and nurse.

My first day as an intern physician in the ICU. The attending was known to be tough and exacting. Me: “I want to give Lasix?” Nurse Mary Ellen: “Dr King has ordered 40 mg Lasix IV, strict I’s and O’s with expected net negative of 1 liter, and BMP in the AM for monitoring”. (I, of course had not yet done those things and Nurse Mary Ellen saved me and the patient). I am forever grateful for her teaching, humor, kindness, wisdom and undeserved friendship over the ensuing 35 years.
