Jean Marie Ellis

Jean Marie Ellis, 66, a resident of Route 112, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday October 9, 2019. Jean was born in Peckville, PA on August 23, 1953 the daughter of the late George and Mary Pasick Sanko. She attended schools in Paramus, NJ, graduating from Paramus High School class of 1971. Jean will be remembered for her fierce loyalty to her pets, her NY Yankees, her beliefs, and her family. There is nothing she wouldn’t have given up to make the lives of those around her better. Dry and sarcastic, nosey and sharp, she was never too much of any one thing. She was difficult to make laugh, passing that on to her kids, and while they thought she was annoying at times, she fought back saying they were weird. A forever mother to those in her life, whether with two legs or four, a style daredevil with pink painted throughout her silver/white hair, a sublime home cook, an editor of social media posts, a hidden artist, and a reminder that the littlest of things could bring the most amount of joy. Jean will be remembered fondly, and missed dearly, by those who knew her. Her legacy living on through the kindness she taught, affecting everyone who loved her and those who have yet to learn of her. Jean is survived by her husband Peter A. Ellis of Jacksonville, VT whom she married at St. Joseph's Church in Oradell, NJ on August 25, 1979, her sons Kevin Ellis of Wilmington and Kenny Ellis of Jacksonville, her daughter Stacey Ellis of Wilmington and her brother George Pasick of Haskell, NJ.

If friends desire, memorial gifts in Jean’s memory may be made to the Windham County Humane Society, c/o Covey-Allen & Shea Funeral Home P.O. Box 215 Wilmington, VT 05363.
