Ellen Louise Young, 89, passed away Saturday, March 1, surrounded by family and friends at home. A private family service will be at a later date. Ellen was born October 27, 1924 in Elk, Texas to Robert and Sylvia (Thompson) Burts. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 60 years, William Young in 2004. Ellen was a people person and always kept up with family and friends. She enjoyed working with her daughter, Jennifer Cromwell at Formela for 25 years as a receptionist and bookkeeper. She was a tireless perfectionist at everything she did. An excellent seamstress that made many beautiful garments. Endless hours of gardening followed by lovely home cooked meals that could feed a large family, just in case someone showed up or she needed to deliver a meal to someone. When her grandson, Adrian was born, MeMe was always available to baby sit, go to movies and play baseball. Survivors include her daughter, Jennifer Cromwell and husband, Bland of Waco; grandson, Adrian Anzaldua and fianc�, Mirra Schwartz of San Francisco, California; grandchildren, Leighton Cromwell King and husband, Eddie of Waco and Rhett Cromwell of Austin; great grandson, Tritt King; and her friend and caregiver, Juanita Rosales.
