Elly was a faithful volunteer for many causes.

She devoted countless hours to pursuing her lifelong passion of creating an environment of prayer and worship around the clock. Elly loved animals of all kinds, but held a special place for dogs and horses. She was the owner of Vom Shana Haus Shepherds, where she bred and raised German Shepherds.
