Ellen Smith (Angel) 1945-2019

It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you all that dear, dear Ellen Smith (known to us as Angel) has passed away after a very short illness. She was only recently diagnosed with brain cancer and it was very fast in her case.

Here is her obituary. https://www.forevermissed.com/ellen-smith/#about

She announced her trip to the hospital, her biopsy, and diagnosis real time on FaceBook. It was hard to read, but her courage in facing her future was remarkable.

I have been lucky to meet her and spend some quality time when she came to Fall River. She always loved my dog and every time I posted an image of him she would react.

I know she will be missed by loads of folks, and many of you here.

Stefani, thank you for posting this very sad news. :sad: Ellen was such a good friend, who had a big heart. She and I talked on the phone and exchanged emails several times, and we found out that we had a lot in common.

Do you recall a thread authored by mbhenty, titled facebook...... ? In that thread I posted my opinion of facebook, and wrote the following (partial) paragraph (Underlining and highlighting have just been added in the post):

… I have been invited to join Facebook by three people; the last invitation I received was from a friend of mine. When I received this invitation, I just happened to scrolled down to the middle of it and found a section titled, See who else has invited you to Facebook. There is listed the other two people who have invited me to join Facebook. Then, I scrolled down to the bottom of this invitation, where I found a section titled, Other people you may know on Facebook. There I find seven people listed, and to my surprise, I know all seven of them!!! To make a long story short – one of these people really got to me, because they happen to be a member of the Lizzie Andrew Borden Forum. … ( Source: http://tinyurl.com/tp7nhhw )

Ellen was that member.

RIP my dear friend.

I just found out now. I'm truly shocked! I will miss her terribly.
