Ellen Jeanine Schwartz

As I prepare for Christmas with family , I think of our Jacobson Christmas. Busting the seams of even the large SWARTZ home. Ellen is a cousin I admired. Serving with the police and later a strong advocate for women. She gave of herself with family, friends and those in need. While tears will flow freely these next weeks. This Christmas is very Special homecoming in heaven,. I will miss seeing your fathers twinkle in your eyes and his mischievous smile. You had Noda’s Strength and servants heart. This world is a better place because of you. Love , Sandra Sefton

Fond memories of Ellen when we were Gamma Phi Beta pledge sisters at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville. My prayers are with her family.

Ellen follows her Sister Marlene (my Wife) to heaven. During a very difficult time in my life, Ellen was my rock, my support, my go to person who took care of the many things that helped me along the way. Thank you Ellen for all that you have done for me and my family. We will Love and remember you forever.

You are barely gone and we are left wondering how to fill the hole in our hearts. You were one of the most gentle, kind and generous friends I have ever known. If the world had more people like Ellen, what a wonderful place this would be. Wally

I’m so sorry to her that Ellen passed away. My sincere condolences to Rich and their family. She was one of a kind. Compassionate, caring, smart. A good law enforcement officer who understood the dynamics of sensitive crimes and the impact on survivors and families. Her legacy will live on.
