    I did know her for long but I did appreciate her honesty and interest. May God be with us all.

  2. I worked with Ellen at the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation. I greatly admired her many skills and valued her friendship. I send my heartfelt condolences to Phil and her whole family.

    1. Dear Laurie,

      It is good to see your name here . Federation and her coworkers were important parts of Ellen’s life in D-CH.

      Regards,
      Phil Lorang

  3. Ellen was a pillar in building the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation. She always took us from good to great in everything we did. I will
    always remember Ellen with a smile in my face and I’m eternally grateful to her for believing in me. I’m sending my love to the family. Ellen, you will be missed!

    May her memory be eternal. I seem to see her everywhere lately. In the petite, grey-haired woman, eyes smiling back at me through polarized glasses, as she passes me on the highway; in the creative mishaps with online publishing and realizing she’s not there to reach out for a lifeline; when I was frustrated and stifled a curt response to someone, I saw her tilt her head down, gently nodding; in the wee hours of the morning, when roosters haven’t yet awoken, and I’m doing volunteer work, answering queries, and trying to assist all who need me; in falling asleep at the computer, and I rally as she shouts out, “Toots, I need more coffee!”
