After retirement, she enjoyed volunteer work at St. Joseph Catholic Church and the Diocese of Bismarck. Ellen had a special knack with needlework, mainly crocheting, knitting and embroidery. She liked to play a good game of pinochle or Yahtzee as well as trying her luck at the casinos. An excellent cook and baker, Ellen often shared her homemade treats with others.
