Ellen Mae Aden
February 10, 1934 — November 5, 2007
Ellen M. Aden, age 73, of Marshall passed away Monday, November 5, 2007 at the Avera Marshall Medical Center. Funeral Services will be 11:00 A.M. on Thursday, November 8, 2007 at First Lutheran Church in Marshall. Burial will be in the Aden family plot in Rosholt, SD on Friday. Visitation will be Wednesday, November 7, 2007 from 4 - 8 P.M. at the Hamilton Funeral Home in Marshall. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service on Thursday at the church.
Ellen was born on February 10, 1934, in Sisseton, South Dakota. She was the daughter of Peter and Gladys (Solberg) Johnson. Ellen graduated from Sisseton High School in 1952. She went to school at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD where she received her teaching degree. She finished her 4 year degree at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall. Ellen married Duane Aden on June 2, 1954.
Ellen was a compassionate, loving, caring person. She was the first one at your doorstep if you had been diagnosed with cancer to help you fight that demon.
She was born to be a teacher, primarily Kindergarten “kids”. She had the patience and love to help them get their education on the right track. In later years, many of her students would greet her and remember her as “Mrs. Aden”.
Ellen had a unique personality. A personality to challenge, an “ego buster”. She judged you for what you were “inside”, not for who you were. She had the desire and ability to know people. Five minutes after she met you, she would know your “life history”. Health care professionals loved her as a patient; even though she would challenge them to be sure you “got it right”.
If you were a friend of Ellen’s, you were a friend for life and she would always “keep in touch”.
Ellen was a loving wife, mother and grandmother that was always concerned about her family. She loved to tell everyone that she met about them.
She will be missed so much!
Ellen is survived by her husband, Duane; two daughters Katie of Plainfield, IL (husband Curt and son Cole) and JoAnn of Coon Rapids, MN, (husband Jeff and children Suzanne, John, and Mary); sister, Faye of Marysville, Washington; and brother, David of Abiline, Texas.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Percy, Bert, Peter, and Jim; and two children, James and Patricia.
In lieu of flowers, please designate memorials to American Cancer Society, Marshall Hospice, First Lutheran church in Marshall, or donor’s choice.
Blessed Be The Memory of Ellen Aden
