Ellen F. Carrow

Guilderland - Ellen F Carrow, 56, entered into eternal peace on Saturday, January 18, 2020. She was born in Tupper Lake NY to Alfred and Mary Jane Carrow.

Ellen moved to Guilderland at a young age and soon became involved in athletics and music. Her talent of playing woodwind instruments attracted invitations to play in All State orchestras. Ellen graduated from Guilderland High School and attended SUNY Albany. Ellen loved precious time with her daughter traveling to Maine, taking cruises, enjoying simple quiet evening strolls and attending Monica’s school and swimming events where she volunteered as time keeper.  Ellen will be remembered for her kindness and generosity to all, wonderful smile, and gift for making everyone feel special. Life challenges never prevented her outpouring of love for others. Management, coordination and customer service all describe the roles Ellen fulfilled throughout her careers.
