ELLEN CONCANNON
22 December 1946 - 15 May 2025

There’s a saying shared in many cultures...

“A person dies twice: once when their heart stops beating, and again when their name is spoken for the last time.”

May we continue to speak Ellen's name, and keep her spirit alive, forever.​

A tribute page for my Mum, Ellen Irma Concannon (nee Seibel). A woman of extraordinary warmth, intelligence, and kindness. A mother, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a friend, and a fur grandmother. A light in all lives who knew her.

“Please don't linger at my passing with sadness; I haven't truly left you. I'm in the warmth of sunlight, the whispering winds, the gentle rain, and the stars that light your way. My greatest joy was loving you - carry this love forward, even when life feels uncertain. Life’s chapters may close abruptly, but let them guide you gently toward inner peace, strength, and the beauty of living fully, even amidst uncertainty. Love fiercely, and remember - I am always with you.”

– Ellen Irma Concannon (nee Seibel)

With broken hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Ellen Irma Concannon, a woman whose presence made the world kinder, brighter, and more beautiful.

​

Ellen was the embodiment of grace, intelligence, and warmth. To know her was to be uplifted by her compassion, charmed by her wit, and moved by her quiet strength. She lived with dignity, gave without hesitation, and loved with a heart that knew no limits.

​

Deeply loved and cherished mother to Siska and Nadja, devoted wife to Andrew, and a second mother and treasured aunt to Nina and Lena. She was also a proud and loving fur grandmother to Tazzie. Ellen was a loyal friend, a guiding light, and a constant source of joy to so many who were lucky enough to walk through life with her.

​

The world has lost one of its very best.

She will be missed beyond words, and remembered with boundless love.
