Ellen had many friends and family she loved dearly.
Survivors include two brothers, Robert and Ward Ellsworth; three children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and countless family and friends.
Her son, Timothy W. Hague, preceded her Oct. 2015.

Ellen, you left many of us with such rich and happy childhood memories. You gave us 4 children who shared our childhood and whose friendship still fill our hearts with joy to this day. Your husband was simply a joy to know and it was always evident how rich and deep the love you shared together. You were everything a woman should be to your family, friends and also to our Father in Heaven. The world is diminished in your passing, but oh how the angels are rejoicing for your being with them. We will love your children here on earth, as you will love them from Heaven. And then we all will be together on that bright and glorious day we long for. To Ellen's children, you took her as far as you could and God gently took her the rest of the way. What a sweet, sweet circle of love you shared. God bless you all.

Thank you, God, for blessing us with my Aunt Ellen. Her love for the Lord, patience, joy and humor were always evident. She was a great example for us all. My heart is with all my family during this time. Wish I could be there. Love you all.

Bill & Ellen were like my second grandparents. I loved them dearly. Ellen was one of the sweetest women I knew.

Ellen was a dear, long-time friend. She certainly showed us, by example, how to endure many health issues due to age with seemingly endless grace. With each fracture, or CHF problem, she went to work to do whatever it took to recuperate. She was my hero.

A very precious, loving and patient lady was Ellen. So many of us rode the bus to CCHS during our school years. I do not know how she never lost her cool, but she didn't. She was a wonderful mother in law to me. She opened her arms to each and every one of my children. Even my son from a different marriage. I will miss you for now but will see you when it's my time. I love you Ellen. Please Lord bless Don, Gloria and Linda while they grieve your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

The 'ring' of family has lost a diamond.
Ellen lived a Christ-like image, created
a legacy of faith, love, and service. We build on that and cherish the memories. Thank you, God, for placing Ellen in our family. Such a blessing.

Many of my cherished memories are centered around family times at Aunt Ellen's home. She was generous, gentle, and supremely patient. She experienced life in all its triumphs and tragedies, yet never lost her faith or her sense of humor. Love you so much, and looking forward to our
Great Reunion in the Gloryland!

I am asking our Lord to comfort, strengthen and give peace to each one of you. Even as there is rejoicing for this loving lady to get to "go home", there is also such a sense of loss. Praying for you all.

Such a loving tribute to your mother. "Her children will rise up and bless her." Proverbs 31:28, Betty Williams, Hayden, Idaho

I have many good memories of Aunt Ellen who was always gentle voiced, seeming never to raise her voice; no matter how noisy we kids became -- those were good old days visiting the cousins. Janet & Rex Rhoten

Ellen was always so nice to me. She certainly, considering my propensity to be in trouble much of the time, was a forgiving person. My condolences to Don, Gloria, Linda and the extended family.
