Ellen Alice Treder McCullough
Ellen passed away peacefully Monday morning, February 24 at Monarch of Southbury, CT with her family by her side.
Ellen Alice Treder was born to Bernard A. Treder and Anna Kuhlmeier Treder on December 8, 1930 in the Bronx, New York. She married George K. McCullough on June 7, 1952, at Church of the Master, Reformed (Throggs Neck, Bronx, NY).
She was predeceased by her parents, her husband George, and her sister Viola Anschick. She is survived by her sons Russell and Donald McCullough, daughters-in-law Linda Demion McCullough and Theresa Magee McCullough; grandchildren Kathleen McCullough Brady and husband Seth, Sarah McCullough Deem and husband Justin, Timothy McCullough and wife Jennifer, and Rebecca McCullough and husband Ty Santiago; great-grandchildren Charlotte Twyman, Ethan Deem, Logan Deem, and Jack Brady and beloved niece and nephew Janet Flaim and Robert Anschick.
Ellen attended PS 36 and graduated from Theodore Roosevelt HS. She began her working career at Con Edison. After having her two sons, Ellen worked at Macy’s Parkchester for many years. She also taught piano to many of the neighborhood children and was an avid animal lover and gardener… growing legendary tomatoes among other things.
Ellen devoted her life to family and church and was a member of the Church of the Master for 68 years where she served as a Sunday School Teacher, Choir Director, Organist, and Elder.
Some people enrich our lives in ways we rarely take the time to acknowledge, but we know that she was one of those people and was surrounded by the love and respect of everyone lucky enough to know her.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Church of The Master, 2783 Lafayette Ave. Bronx, NY 10465 on Saturday, March 22 at 11AM.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the ASPCA or Church of the Master.
