An exceptional lady who devoted 40 years of her life to
helping others.
Ellie retired on October 1, 1999, as a Senior Victim
Advocate for the District Attorney’s Office, and soon
thereafter, on January 4, 2000, lost her courageous
battle with cancer.
Ellie’s legacy is the success and strength of today’s
Crime Victims Assistance Program. She provided the foundation
upon which it was built and for 19 years nurtured its growth
while fighting for victims’ rights at home and throughout
the state. She championed the cause and will forever be remembered
by crime victims, prosecutors, members of the law enforcement
community and the court system, coworkers and everyone whose
lives she has touched.
