Ellen Williams Greenwell

May 13, 1919 ~ January 16, 2017

Ellen Williams Greenwell was born on May 13, 1919 and passed away on January 16, 2017.  She expected she might live to 100 and often said with a smile:  “I must be doing something right–or wrong.”

She graduated from Ogden High School and attended Utah State University before heading off to New York City with her twin sister Bette in search of adventure and a job.

Her working career included being an administrative assistant for a doctor, working at Hill Air Force Base, working at Weber College, and finally working at Utah Power and Light until she retired.  She then volunteered for Hospice and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

She loved to golf, bowl, garden, read, and play bridge.  Recently, her favorite activities were her book club and her bridge clubs.

Ellen leaves behind her nieces and nephews, Nancy and Mike Real, Richard and Kathryn Parmley, Joan Scott, Jan and Bill Resseger, David and Jenny Williams, Harm and Gayle Williams; Robert and Kris Williams; and Celia and Don Baron.  In addition her family included the children and grandchildren of her nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.  She also leaves behind many friends, some lifelong and others new, all of whom she treasured.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Nancy Eva Greenwell and Fred Williams; her brothers and their wives, George and Ruth Williams and Harmon and Gwen Williams; her sister, Bette and her husband Russell Parmley; and her son, Fred Tolman.

A brief service will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 2 p.m. at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd.

The family wants to thank Envision Home Health & Hospice, Interim Healthcare, and Caring Angel Homecare for all the support and kindness they have given to Ellen.
