Mary Ellen was a dedicated teacher and a devoted wife and mother. We will always remember her constant smile! We last saw Mary Ellen in 2017 when we visited Ray and Mary Ellen in Florida. We have fond memories of that visit, and of each visit we had with them.
She was a special lady, and we were happy to have know her.
Fondly,
Jeff and Annemarie Jay

We remember the airboat ride in the Everglades when Mary Ellen grabbed that big alligator’s tail. My gosh, she was just full of fun! Kind, funny, and oh, so sweet, that was Mary Ellen.

Mary Ellen was one of the most loving people I have ever known. She was there for me during a very confusing time in my life and offered a safe place to work through my troubles. I will be forever grateful for Mary Ellen and Ray. 🙏❤️
