She was born September 14, 1960, the daughter of John and Eleonore (Jamrozy) Trush. Ellyn married Frank Licitra on July 25, 2003.
Ellyn and Frank were the best servants that any stray cat could hope to find. They adored and spoiled the cats as if they were their children. From Mr. Spit to the kittens, Ellyn and Frank adopted over 10 rescues together. Ellyn also loved floating in the pool and riding around in the boat, brandy and ginger ale in hand. Ellyn was glamorous and adored her jewelry, makeup, mani-pedi's and fashion, being a frequent at Von Maur. The color purple will always remind us of fashion-foward Ellyn. She will be missed by all of those who love her including her family and friends.
