Marie A.

Ells

We celebrate the life of Marie A. Ells, who lovingly touched the hearts of those around her during her remarkable 80 years. Marie passed away on Sunday, May 10th at Care Dimensions Hospice House in Lincoln, where she was embraced by the care of dedicated professionals following a brief illness.
Marie will be fondly remembered for her warmth, dedication, and spirited nature. She was born on October 5, 1945, in Chelsea, to the late Harry M. Ells, Sr. and Alice (Ingvaldsen) Ells, growing up in a vibrant household as one of ten children.
Marie was a lifelong resident of Chelsea, where she attended local schools and proudly graduated from Chelsea High School and remained a proud resident of her hometown throughout her life. In recent years Marie resided at the Margolis Building in Chelsea where she embraced new friendships and connections.
She devoted her professional life to her role as a bookkeeper for Rudolph Electric, where her detail-oriented nature and kindness left a lasting impression on her colleagues and friends.
Marie's strong sense of community and faith shone brightly as a devoted parishioner of the former Assumption (French) Church, where her contributions as a Eucharistic Minister were greatly valued. A dedicated daughter, she lovingly cared for her mother, Alice in their family home, nurturing deep bonds with love and tempered discipline for her family, including her numerous cherished nieces and nephews.
Outside of her professional and familial commitments, Marie engaged in life with joy. She enjoyed participating in Candle Pin Bowling Leagues, sharing laughter and memories over spirited card games, and creating cherished moments with her family.
Marie's resilient spirit remains evident in the love shared among her surviving 19 nieces and nephews.  She is now joyfully reunited with her parents Harry and Alice, her beloved siblings; Pauline M. Mahoney, Robert and Andrew Ells, Helen Arnold, Harry M. Jr., Charles, John, Francis, and William Ells, and those of her family who have passed before her, including three nieces and nephews.

In honor of her beautiful life and legacy, we invite friends and family to join together for a Memorial Visitation and Funeral Service. The gathering will take place on Saturday, June 6, from 12:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. at the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea, followed by a celebratory service that will commence at 2:00 P.M.
In reflection of her vibrant spirit and the lives she touched, we come together to celebrate Marie's life, sharing stories, laughter, and love as we honor her memory.
