Ellen Fitzgerald

Ellen Fitzgerald

Ellen Fitzgerald, PhD died in her home as she wished.  She had lung cancer.  As she said, being a smoker, "I knew it would take me sooner or later -- I just hoped it would be later!"  She lived a very full life in Chicago, then London, then back here.  Last year when I asked her what she wished for , I expected her to say something about one last trip.  Instead she said she wanted to live to see the 2008 elections!  That's our girl, political junkie to the end.  I'm so glad so much of the election hoopla came so early and she got to see so much of it.
