Ellen Welsh, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2024 at the age of 75 after a courageous 20-month battle with cancer. She faced each day with unwavering strength and determination, meeting even the hardest moments with her signature wit and resilience.
Born on May 15, 1949, in The Bronx, Ellen was known for her sharp mind, selflessness, and unshakeable loyalty to her loved ones. She had an unmatched ability to find humor in even the darkest times and was a source of strength and inspiration to those around her. Her life was a testament to the power of generosity and love, and she remained focused on others’ needs, even in her final days.
Predeceased by her husband, Tom, parents, Ed and Marge, and siblings Arlene and Brian, she is survived by sons Michael and Chris, daughters-in-law Katie and Melissa, and grandchildren Haley, Colin, McKenzie, Mayzie, and Lucy. Her family was her greatest joy, and she leaves behind a legacy of strength, wisdom, and kindness that will continue to inspire those who knew her.
A funeral mass in her honor will be held on Wednesday, November 6 at St. Joseph’s Church in Bronxville at 10:45am. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, celebrating her spirit and tireless dedication to helping others.
Her family would like to express their gratitude to everyone who supported Ellen throughout her journey. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten, as her spirit of candor and care lives on in the hearts of those who loved her.
