"Ellen Mae Fuoco passed away on Friday, August 29th, 2014 at the age of 82 years.
Ellie was born in Golden, B.C. on July 27, 1932, and had been a resident of Revelstoke for over 70 years.
She loved bowling in her early years, and doing crafts until the end. Family was first and foremost important to her. Ellie loved flowers, gardens and trains, which were her passion. She was an animal lover and the neighborhood animals, and even passing wildlife were attracted to her generosity.
Ellie always thought about others first and was generous to her neighbors, friends, employees and even the garbage collectors. Her home was always open to anyone and was a meeting place for the neighborhood children. She was the self-professed matriarch of the neighborhood and was always a constant friend for everyone who lived nearby. Ellie took a keen interest in her children’s activities and was always present at their sports games.
She was the sponsor and manager of the Fuoco Transferettes Ladies Softball team and enjoyed attending their games. Ellie was a wonderful host and together with her husband Jim, they enjoyed entertaining at many staff parties. She was proud of the fact that she had married the boy next door."
