Ellen Imelda Henderson

Friends and Family, we are saddened to announce the passing of Ellen Imelda Henderson (MacIsaac) on the 4th of September 2024 at the age of 77 in Country Meadows PCH, Neepawa, MB.

She was born on the 3rd of September 1947 to Emmett and Margaret (Kenny) MacIsaac in Summerside, PEI.

Ellen was known for her love of shoes, so it was perfectly fitting that she met her husband to be, Peter Henderson, at Sheen’s Shoe Store in Summerside, PEI.  They were married in August of 1969 at Seven Mile Bay, PEI.  Ellen was a proud resident of Summerside where she was blessed with three children: Jason in 1971, Justin in 1973 and Jill in 1974.

Her husband’s career, as a member of the RCMP, moved them to Manitoba in 1976 where she held a variety of jobs due to them transferring throughout the province. Residing first in Fisher Branch, Steinbach, Neepawa and Lundar where they created a plethora of friends they considered as family.  Eventually retiring back to her beloved PEI in 2000.

Ellen was a beautiful quilter and especially loved making baby quilts. She loved music and could play the organ by ear. She adored animals and had many pets who she spoiled over the years. She went all out for Christmas and was known for her ability to decorate every inch of their home (including wrapping all her kitchen cupboards in Christmas paper). Her sense of humour and her extremely quick wit is unmatched. She will forever be remembered for her generosity as well as her overall kind positive little self.  She was a doting wife, an amazing mom and the best Nanny.

Ellen is survived by her husband Peter. Children: Jason, Justin (Elaine) and Jill (Preston). Grandchildren: Paige, Sara (Casey), Jared (Karly), Morgan (Kennedy) and Leah. Great-grandchildren: Roman and Miller. Siblings: Barry (Pat), Garth (Bonnie), John (Wilma), Mary (Darryl) Nauss, Jimmy (Janet), Terry (Debi) and Mac (Rosemary). Sister-in- Law Barb (Henderson) Hill and brother-in-law Doug (Sharon). Many Nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews as well as great-great ones.

She was preceded in death by her parents Emmett and Margaret (Kenny) MacIsaac.  Her father and mother-in-law: Earle and Alice (Darling) Henderson. Siblings: Robert, Allan and Audrey (Bell) MacIsaac, Rosalie (MacIsaac) and Bud Folland and Marjorie (MacIsaac) Johnson. Brother-in-Law Norrie Hill.
