Ellen
Nora Hale, 69 years old, died at Vista Springs Holland Meadows after a long and debilitating six-year fight with Glioblastoma Multiforme. Against all odds, she beat her 12-15 month prognosis by more than three years. She was known, and will be remembered always for her intelligence, great beauty, southern charm, strong faith and as a giver of great parties. Ellen will be missed by many dear friends… a wonderful source of love and support for her, especially in her final years.
Ellen was preceded in death by her parents, Curtis and Margaret Maynard of Memphis, Tennessee. She is survived by her sister, Amy (Everett) Pidgeon, nieces, Jordan and Kelsey Pidgeon, all of whom reside in Memphis, Tennessee, and one nephew, Brent Pidgeon of Des Moines, Iowa. Also surviving Ellen are her treasured Aunt Bonnie Savage, cousins, Leslie Savage and Kent Savage. Two special nieces, Arianna Lindberg of New Jersey and Ann Baker of Saugatuck shared Ellen’s love of art, story and all things Lake Michigan. They brought great love and joy to Ellen’s life.
May angels lead her into Paradise…
