I am sorry to hear the news about Ellen’s passing. She was a dear friend of my mom, Joan, as well as The Whiting family. We celebrated many Holidays with her in Garden City at my mom’s house and Cherry Valley Country Club where she was a member. Ellen was very involved with St. Joseph’s Church in Garden City. She was a wonderful conversationalist, and extremely well read. Many decades ago, when I worked for Hearst’s iconic publication Good Housekeeping in New York City, I would often stop by her office (I was in sales and she was on the editorial team). Ellen was an avid reader and always fun to be around. May she rest in peace.
