Obituary: Ellen L. (Eggenberger) Beaulleau

BROOKLYN PARK, MINN. - Ellen L. Beaulleu (Eggenberger), age 81, our beautiful mother, started her new journey on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2006. She went peacefully, at home, surrounded by loved ones. We will miss her generous spirit. She was born in Madison and had many interests such as dance and playing the clarinet. She graduated from Madison Central High School and went to work at the Madison Telephone Co. She then began working at Robertson Transportation, where she met and married her husband, Clifford. They moved to Minnesota together, only to have it cut short by the death of our beloved father, Clifford, in 1967. She did a fabulous job of becoming a mother and father to her adoring children. We were blessed to have such a dedicated, loving mother. Her passions in life were her grandchildren, NASCAR racing, and Bruce Springsteen. She felt blessed to be able to work full time for Medical Arts Press until fall 2005. We feel such a loss in our lives, for our mother is part of our souls. We feel comforted knowing we will be eternally connected. We love you, Mom. She is survived by sons, Rick (Deborah) and Allen; daughter, Sherri (Gene); grandson, Alec; granddaughter, Shaina; and niece, Marsha (Jim) Arr. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2006, at 7 p.m., with a visitation one hour prior at CREMATION SOCIETY OF MINNESOTA, Brooklyn Park Chapel, 7835 Brooklyn Blvd., Brooklyn Park, Minn. (763) 560-3100
