Ellen Patricia (Powell) Beany

Cortland, Ohio

On April 19, 2024, the world lost an incredible and beautiful soul. Ellen

Patricia Powell Beany, aged 107 passed away peacefully in her sleep in

Cortland, Ohio.

On March 17, 1917, Ellen was born to Foster Joseph and Anna (nee

Casey) Powell in Girard, Ohio. She was a graduate of Girard High School

and a former cashier at Scott's Department Store for eight years.

Throughout her long life, Ellen was a resident of Warren, as well as

Deerfield Beach, Florida.

Ellen's secret to longevity was people - she surrounded herself with her

loving family and friends. She was an avid card player, enjoyed attending

dinner shows, loved traveling, and fondly recalled singing in the minstrels

with her sister Mildred in her youth. Ellen will be remembered by all those

who came in contact with her as a smart, kind, and gentle woman who

dressed impeccably and had an infectious laugh.

Ellen leaves behind a tremendous and loving family. Survivors include her

children, Sandra Van Huffel and Cheryl (Robert) Kundel; 11 grandchildren,

several great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Other than

her parents, Ellen was preceded in death by her husband, Orville Beany;

her granddaughter, Kelly Vigliotti; her step-granddaughter, Shelly

Witherspoon; her brother, Raymond Powell; and her sister, Mary "Mildred"

Wilson.
