Ellen Sortman Obituary
Ellen Marie Sortman went to sing and dance in the streets of Heaven on Tuesday July 16, 2024.
She was born in 1963 in Findlay. Ellen touched every heart in every community she was a part of, like her schools Howard, Tiffin School for the Deaf, East Toledo Junior High, and Devilbiss High School, and churches, St. Michael's in Findlay, and St. Agnes, Christ the King, and St. Pius in Toledo. She was also involved with the Deaf Community and was employed with Wood County Hospital, LCBDD, and Lott Industries. Ellen loved making and shopping for crafts of any kind and if it was purple, it was her's.
Surviving and holding her memory in their hearts are her siblings, Cathy (Mark) Owen, Jim (Rachel) Sortman, and Christopher (Christina) Sortman; and nieces and nephews, Bex (Dawn) Miller, Nicole (Nick) Miller, Michaela (Nate) Linares, Brandon (Kelsey) Sortman, Andrew (Miranda) McLain, Skylar Middlebrooks, and Andrew, Alexander, Sabrina, London, Xavier, and Aubrey.
She will delight in reuniting with her parents, Jerome E. Sortman and Judith E. Sortman.
A special thank you to the Toledo area hospitals, nursing and rehab facilities, and the Anne Grady Center for the dedication to exceptional care for Ellen this past year.
Visitation will be 11 a.m. Monday, July 22, 2024, until the time of Ellen's funeral at 2 p.m. at Urbanski Funeral Home, 5055 Secor Rd., Toledo, Ohio, 43623. Burial will follow at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery.
The family requests any donations be made to the Anne Grady Center or Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
