Ellingsworth, Connie, age 84, passed away peacefully on February 17th. She will be remembered by her many friends and family for her kindness, generosity, gentle soul, and warm smile. Her legacy is a life well lived: she loved and was loved, she was a survivor of both breast cancer and COVID-19, and she epitomized what it is to a be good and decent person.
Connie was a lifelong resident of Osseo and an integral part of the community. She showed her pride and love for her community through her active membership and volunteer work in her Church, and with the Osseo Legion Women’s Auxiliary, marching unit, and Friends of the Library.
She is survived by her children David, Valerie, Keith (Jamie), and Kevin (Melissa) Bartness; grandchildren Jean Marie, Mikaela, Evan, Lydia, Brynn, and Cole; great grandson, Aiden; and sister Dolores (Darrell) Doebler.

Our son recently passed away and of course you never expect to have to deal with this for your children so my wife and I were not only devastated but didn’t know what to do or where to turn next. Evans-Nordby was recommended to us by our Priest and I’m so glad he did. From the moment I talked to Tina on the phone I could tell we were in good hands as she took care of every detail. We met with her the next day and she went through all the aspects of what we were to expect in the coming days, weeks, then months ahead. Every employee we had contact with at Evans-Nordby was kind, compassionate and extremely professional. Thanks Tina and to all at Evans-Nordby for making an unbearable experience at least tolerable.
