I worked with Ellen at HQ, United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command. We all adored Ellen, she was the most wonderful colleague, friend and Administrate Assistant that I ever worked with in all my years of Federal Government service. Ellen had a style all her own that was admired and respected by everyone. She was always willing to help all of us with any issue with a positive attitude and smile on her face!
I have so many wonderful memories of working with Ellen and know that God welcomed her with opened arms and brought her to Paradise. I send my condolences to all Ellen’s family. Ellen will always be in out hearts and minds forever!
God Loove and Bless You Dearest Ellen!
Love and Blessings, Portia Boggia Davidson
