She will be missed, but never forgotten, and always loved by her family and friends. She was a remarkable person who brought joy to all our lives. She was a wonderful mother, sister, daughter and friend. There will not be services for Mary Ellen. She made the decision to donate her body to science. Her greatest wish is for science to find a cure for the type of cancer she had, and with her sacrifice, we are sure it will benefit humankind. We will all miss her very much. With Love from Family and Friends.
