Ellen met the love of her life in Randall Zimmer (passed away August 13, 2019) and they were married on May 29, 1971. They raised two children. Ellen loved all kinds of music and was always the life of the party. Her life was filled with joy. She loved to sing, dance, and have fun. Most important was her family, whom she loved to care for and support. Ellen made everything and everyone around her brighter. She was the heart and the harmony and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
