Ellen Little VandenBrink, 86, passed away February 27, 2019, in the presence of her family who all loved her dearly. Ellen was born in Sullivan, Illinois, to Inis and Guy Little, Sr. The family was complete when her brother Guy Little, Jr. (who preceded her in death) was born a few years later. She attended DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, where she earned a degree in physical education. Upon graduation, she taught English and P.E. at Sullivan High School, her alma mater. Her world changed while at the wedding of a dear friend in Sullivan when she met the love of her life, Dale VandenBrink, MD. After marrying and starting their family in Sullivan, Dale’s medical career took them to Los Angeles where they lived happily together until Dale’s death in July 2015, three months shy of their 60th wedding anniversary.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
