Ellie was born Jan. 20, 1928, in Montclair, N.J., the daughter of Avis Travis and John Calvin. She was a registered nurse who worked in many areas and ultimately substance abuse. Her true love was Maine; she was an avid outdoorswoman, an artist, a writer and an enthusiastic animal lover.

She was predeceased by her son, Mark; her sister, Sylvia and her brother, Stanley. She leaves behind a host of loving friends and extended family.

A private memorial service will be held. The family extends deep gratitude to those who cared for her during her final days.
