It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death last Saturday after a long illness of Dr. Ellin Kelly, professor emerita in the English Department of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. Ellin joined the faculty in 1968 and taught until her retirement in 1992. For many years Ellin was a faithful volunteer in the Archives and Special Collections department bringing to her accessioning work the precision of a scholar. Ellin most generously endowed a British Literature Award for students. She was also a scholar of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. She is survived by a number of nieces and nephews.
Ellin donated her body to science. A memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, 10:30 a.m. at St. Mary's parish in Evanston, Illinois. For church directions: http://www.stmaryevanston.org/visitors/
May she rest in peace.
