All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” ~ Helen Keller

JOANN ELLSWORTH

 On January 8, 2016 JoAnn Hales Ellsworth finished her life on earth and instantly the entire Ellsworth family gained the most fiercely protective guardian angel ever known. (Not a small job because there are over 100 of us!) Actually it is just a continuation of her earthly mission. After having endured patiently a prolonged illness, we are fairly sure she danced into heaven and celebrated with loved ones who met her there.  We invite you to join us as we celebrate her life on Tuesday January 12, 2016 at 11:00 at the Payson 1st Ward, 225 South 400 East, Payson, Utah. Visitation will be from 9:45 to 10:45 am prior to the funeral.
