September 17, 1942 – September 8, 2022
Ellen Frances Ward, 79, of Crisfield, passed away on Thursday, September 8, 2022 at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional.
Born in Crisfield on September 17, 1942, she was a daughter of the late Grover and Ruth E. Lewis Ward. Her husband, Howard William Ward, Sr. preceded her in death on October 29, 2019.
Ellen was a 1961 graduate of Crisfield High School, where she enjoyed playing field hockey, and also graduated from the Delmarva Beauty Academy as a Cosmetologist. She owned her own beauty shop, Ellen's Chatter Box, where she worked for 58 years.
In her earlier years, she enjoyed playing BINGO and was a member of a bowling league. She loved riding on the golf cart, going to Gordon's, playing dominoes and cards, and going out to lunch with her girlfriends. She also enjoyed sitting on the porch with her next door neighbor, Chrissy Lawson. Although she worked as a Beautician, it was her favorite hobby of all.
