Maureen Ellis Obituary
After caring for her four children and many assorted animals, Maureen worked as a technical typist at Brown University Medical School. With her boundless energy, she pursued her college education and quickly obtained an M.S. in speech language pathology at U.R.I. As a clinical coordinator at Southeast Hearing and Speech, a contractor for Project Learn, and a specialist in the Lyme-Old Lyme School District, she helped many people improve their speech. She was a loving and fun wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend - always putting others before herself.
She is survived by her husband; four children; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and her brother and his family.
Per her wishes, her life will be celebrated by her family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to your local Humane Society. Please visit www.byles.com to share a memory or condolence with the family.
