Ellen Mae Eldridge

The peaceful passing of Ellen Mae (Greenlaw) Eldridge of Pennfield NB occurred at the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen NB on October 10, 2020 with her loving family at her side. Born in St. Stephen NB on January 26, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Irving and Jessie (Kernighan) Greenlaw. A loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, Ellen is survived by her children: Anita Hodgin (Rob) of Hampton NB and Alan Lee (Lottie) of Fredericton NB; grandchildren: Dawn Lee-Sutton (Sam), Tyler Hodgin and Spencer Hodgin; great-grandchildren: Lilly and Bray Alan; the father of her children: Gary Lee of Fredericton NB; brothers: George Greenlaw and James Greenlaw; several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Prior to illness, Ellen worked in various fields including child care and for Connor's Brothers in Blacks Harbour. She was a long time resident of Collingwood Rest Home in Pennfield and she loved the extended family she made there over the years. Ellen was strong in her faith and read her devotional daily after having her morning coffee. She was a long time member of the Calvary Atlantic Baptist Church in Blacks Harbour where she was a member of the choir and active in both the Willing Workers and Ladies Missionary groups. Ellen was a previous member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Granite Chapter # 15 in St. George and enjoyed the time she shared with her fellow members. In her quiet time she could often be found reading, doing word puzzles or listening to the weekly Country Jamboree on the radio. She will be missed greatly by her family and extended family alike.
