Ellie was a wonderful mother who was always there for her children, no matter what the situation was. She will be missed deeply. She also had many wonderful friends in life and was a well-loved member of the community in Monmouth County. She sang in the Monmouth Civic Chorus for many years and enjoyed life unconditionally. After college she had a long career at Bell Labs as an executive administrator and retired gracefully.
She was predeceased by her daughter Joy Hendricks Monaghan Watkins and is survived by her son Adam Gregory; her three grandsons, Michael Monaghan, Martin James Monaghan and his wife Meagan Monaghan and their two daughters, Reagan Rose Monaghan and Aubrey Ann Monaghan, and Mclean Adam Monaghan and his wife Kristin Monaghan and their son Everett Monaghan and daughter Avery Joy Monaghan.
Some of her closest friends were Barbara “Babs” Przelomski, Fran Demarro, Joan Bruno and Ann Geiger Morgan.
The family would like to thank the amazing staff of Bayside Manor Assisted Living Facility, who enabled Ellie to enjoy her life over the past two years. They would also like to thank Lori and all the nurses from Homeside Hospice who, along with caretakers Sandy and Mary and all at Bayside, provided immeasurable comfort and care to her in her final days.
