My condolences and prayers to Clinton and all the family. I always enjoyed visiting with Ellen at the family reunions at Hidden Springs. Her love for life and her family was always evident as we shared memories of our lives.
May God be with all of you, comfort you and bring you peace.

Ellen was a gentle soul. She had a great capacity to love. You could tell that Clint and their children, Cliff and Tamara, were the lights of her life. Ellen was soft spoken, but had an obvious inner strength. My sincere condolences to all the Whitrock family. May the Lord send you His peace, comfort, and fondest memories of her gentle spirit and warmest touch. Bill Rhoades
My condolences to the family of Ellen. She lived a good life and now she is resting peacefully in the heavens. May she have arrangement of White Violets lining her pathway and lined with the Zeta sisters she has now forever.
Ellen was such a loyal Zeta and was always there to help anyway she was needed. Active in the Alumna Group, shared her recent Zeta Tau Alpha International Membership Book with the current Alumna group, contributed to various parts of Zeta, and was always interest in what was happening within the Chapter and Members she knew any time you saw her
May her loyally to Millikin and Zeta shine forever.. Her Mother's Zeta membership was also part of the very foundation of Tau Chapter that was
built on and Ellen not only came on to that foundation but help build it even stronger for so many. Zeta Love to a Great Sister, Linda Arends
Mom did have her favorites- she would make her son in law chocolate pecan pie. Her daughter- I was allergic to it. So she ate my share. ( But Mike loved it!)
What a beautiful life she lived. I will remember her always at our family reunions at Hidden Springs. May you find comfort knowing she is under the wings of the Lord she loved, free from the limits of this body.
Blessings and comfort to all of you. What a blessing to share in her life.
