Ellen was a very happy go lucky person. Will miss her positive attitude, friendship & lovely smile. May she rest in peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Ellen’s passing. She was such a great friend to me. I remember going to our 2011 high school class reunion together. Mark, I understand how this must be a difficult time for you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Our hearts go out to the entire Husung family. Ellen had a special kind of energy that never lacked a smile. Her love of family and pets extended beyond measure. Our love to you all as you travel this new road.
Love, David, Sudy, and Zachary
Ellen was a kind soul at Fairport Middle and High Schools. She always had a smile for you and I enjoyed our meetings at the Fairport High School Reunions. My deepest condolences to the family.
Ellen was a kind and loving individual. My thoughts and prayers are being sent for the Seelbinder and Husung families.
