Obituary for Ellen Jane Faust (Ruddy)
Ellen Jane Faust, age 90, of Oshkosh, died Friday morning, January 4, 2019, at Lakepoint Villa in Oshkosh. Born on January 15, 1928, in Oshkosh, the daughter of Russell and Margaret (Pommerening) Ruddy. Ellen married Richard Juedes, and after his death, she married George Faust, who also preceded her in death.
A long-time Teacher’s Aide in the Oshkosh Public School System, Ellen enjoyed embroidering, sewing, reading, card playing (especially Poker and King’s in the Corner). She particularly loved time spent at the family cottage. She had a penchant for trying her hand at winning at the slot machines at various casinos.
Ellen’s biggest enjoyment came with the time spent with her family. She had a fabulous sense of humor and was a great listener. She had a wonderful habit of interjecting a humorous song during a conversation. She was a life-long member of Peace Lutheran Church.
