I am so very sorry for your your loss. I was Mary Ellen’s supervisor from the mid-1980’s until her retirement. She was sweet, kind, thoughtful, and fun! She was also a hard worker, positive and thorough. Mary Ellen was a wonderful woman and she is probably smiling down from heaven with love for her family and friends.
