Obituary of Ellen L. Gould

GOULD—Ellen L., a 40 year resident of National Park, passed away on April 24, 2008. Aged 66 years. Her great sense of humor, along with her passionate love of family and ability to forgive, drew people to Ellen. Her nurturing, light-hearted outlook on life, coupled with her forgiving nature earned her the term "Everybody's Mom". Born and raised in Philadelphia, Ellen dedicated her life to being an extraordinary homemaker, devoting herself to raising a loving and close knit family. She would often say: "If you don't have family, you don't have anyone!" She'd treasure the times she spent with her family; whether at her home with a family function, eating out, or a good day shopping. She is the beloved wife of the late James E, Sr.; devoted mother of James E., Jr.Roberta, Robert Kathleen, Michele Grabarski David, Heather Tetreault Charles and Amy Fritz; dear sister of Fred and John Read and Eileen Zimmer and the late Anna Filson; loving grandmother of Valerie, James, III, Robert, Jr, Kevin, Charles, IV and Skylar.
