Ellen was born on June 1, 1953 in Alaska to Andrew and Barbara (Randles) Krueger. She graduated from Pittsville High School and later obtained her LPN license. She married Jack A. Oestreich on September 30, 1978 at United Church of Christ in Pittsville.
Ellen worked as an LPN for St Joseph’s Hospital for over 30 years. She was always a proud member of the TnT Riders Motorcycle Club. She enjoyed riding her own bike. It was nothing for Ellen to take a road trip on her days off and do a couple hundred miles by herself and with friends. Ellen enjoyed crocheting and knitting.
Ellen and her husband Jack loved to travel. Sometimes it was on the bikes and other times is was in Jack’s semi. On numerous occasions Ellen and Jack would take their “adopted daughters” on some road trips, for example, Great America, Renaissance Festivals and Club gatherings.
She is survived by her brother, Andrew Krueger of Texas, adopted special daughter, Jen Morrow, brother in law, Ted Oestreich of Auburndale, nephew, Andew C. Krueger, Aunt Pat Krueger and great nephew, Andrew D. Krueger.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, 2 infant brothers, sister, Carole Krueger, adopted special daughter, Cheryl Polster Cutting, sister-in-law, Paula Krueger, and father and mother in law, Arnold and Carol Oestreich.
A special thanks to all those who helped care for Ellen since her Parkinsons diagnosis in 2015, especially Cheryl and Stef Willman, Inclusa, LSS, Serenity Living Abbotsford Nursing Home and Hope Hospice.
