Mary Ellen Lavelle Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mary Ellen Lavelle of Lake Bluff, Illinois, who passed away on December 30, 2024, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Mary Ellen Lavelle to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Mary Ellen farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Mary Ellen is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Francis Timothy Harnett and Mary Ellen Harnett (Bethel); her brother James; and her children, Michael Lavelle (Emily), Carol Lavelle, James Lavelle and Susan Lavelle Ross.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cornerstone Montgomery at http://www.cornerstonemontgomery.org, a wonderful organization in Maryland that has provided housing and mental health services for Mary Ellen's son James (Jay) for close to 15 years.
