Born with a spirit of resilience and a heart full of love on November 13, 1932 Ellsworth’s journey was one defined by faith, family, and fervent devotion. His union with his beloved Joan for 65 years stood as a testament to enduring love and unwavering commitment.

In his youth, Ellsworth found joy in the thrill of sports, a passion that remained with him throughout his life. While his own athletic pursuits evolved into the joy of cheering from the sidelines, his fervor for sports never waned. Whether it was watching his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren excel on the field or passionately supporting his beloved Rough Riders, his enthusiasm was boundless.
Beyond his love for sports, Ellsworth’s greatest joy came from the precious moments spent with his family and friends.

His wisdom, guidance, and unconditional love shaped the lives of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, leaving an indelible mark on each generation.
