Ellen was a hairstylist for over 50 years. She owned Royal Beauty Shop in Bismarck and her clientele were like family to her. After retiring, she became an auxiliary volunteer at St Alexius Hospital for over 25 years. She loved going to work and giving her time back to others.
Ellen’s love for the Lord showed in her faithful membership of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. She was a loving Mother, Grandmother, and little Gram Gram.
She will be missed by her daughter, Coleen (Jean) De Lille, Lillian, AL; twin granddaughters, Andrea (Adjetey) Osekre, Lauderhill, FL and Babette (Jamie) McGurren, Bismarck; four very special great grandchildren, Andre and Aja Osekre and Kyle and Erik (Keziah) McGurren; along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
