A love story by Chuck:
The pursuit of this incredible woman began 53 years ago after a night of dancing at the Barbary Cove Bar. The chase was on and took awhile for me to convince her that I was an “ok guy”. Looking for a new start, Ellie ended up in Santa Barbara, CA with her 2 boys, Billy and JJ, ages 2 and 5. She frequented the local beaches which happened to be my spots as well. The chase was on…. I think today it might be called “stalking”. I couldn’t help myself.
After the first kiss, I was falling in love. It was the beginning of a long and beautiful life of love and friendship, ups and downs, and with a bond that was never broken and the love never lost. She was “all that” – my lover and best friend! The story of Ellie is one that would be far too long to write right now, but will remain forever in our hearts.
Ellie’s love for dogs was well known and English Springer Spaniels were her kind. She was a huge part of the lives of dogs and the people who love them. A huge thank you to “Clayton Nation” and English Springer Rescue America (ESRA) and all who befriended her in person and those who only knew Ellie from social media. The posts convey all the care, kindness, and love Ellie shared with people far and wide. Her passion reached so many more than will ever be realized.
Thank you to all the friends over the years of our journey.
I miss my girl. Ellie will not be forgotten by all who were touched by her spirit and compassion, including our friends, family, her sons, and the granddaughters she adored.
We will celebrate Ellie’s incredible life on her birthday, October 26 in Santa Barbara.
