Ellen Mattock

Ellen Mattock, age 84, passed away on January 25, 2022 , at home with her family. She is survived by her children, Kim Kitchen and Jim Mattock, son in law Jim, daughter in law Sharon , grandchildren Jimmy (Alyssa), Matt, Kerri (Riley), Ray, Chace (Alex) and Jake, great grandson, Ashton, her sister, Maria McCabe (Joe), nieces Karen Vegega (Alex), JoAnn Bianco (Reno), Lise and Debra Henri, nephew Marc Henri (Maria), great nieces, Morgan, Maddie, Shayna and Sarah, great nephew Reno and great great niece, Everly. Ellen was born and raised in Kensington and attended Visitation BVM and St. Anne's Business School. She was the Office Manager at Wilder Bros./Case Paper for 40 years. Ellen purchased a vacation home in Arrowhead Lakes in the Poconos about 25 years ago and eventually retired there. She was an active member of the community and served on the Disciplinary Committee for a number of years. Ellen loved playing pinochle and any card game and was the family card shark. She was also a pretty good shot with the plastic fruit from the bowl on the dining room table when we were kids! She enjoyed an occasional trip to the casino and in her younger years was a championship water skier and had the nickname "Mickey" (we have no idea why). Ellen was the rock of our family and truly our hero. Her great advice, ability to be fair, her humor and most of all, her love, will be missed more then any words could convey. Family and friends are invited to her viewing on Friday February 4th from 9:30 AM to 11 AM in Our Lady of Calvary Church 11024 Knights Road. Her funeral mass will begin at 11 AM and her interment will be held privately. Please share your fondest memories of Ellen at PhillyFunerals.com.
