Ellen E. Mangan, 81, passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 10, 2016, after a short illness.

Daughter of the late Ervin and Selma (Leder) Olson, Ellen was born on March 2, 1934, on their farm in the town of Angelica. After attending school in Frazer Corners, she moved to Appleton in 1951. She was employed at Zwicker Knitting Mills, where she met her future husband, Donald J. Mangan. They were married on May 31, 1952.

She is survived by her four children, Jacqueline (Joel) Devcich, of Bonduel, Gail (James) Garrow, of Appleton, Bryan Mangan, of Appleton, and Bruce Mangan (special friend Lynn Denton), of Appleton; grandchildren, Joshua Devcich, Alana and Andy Kluck and their daughter, Maddie, Neil and Melinda Mangan and their son, Riley, Blake and Mollie Devcich and their daughter, Kate, Cassandra Garrow and her fiancee, Justin Kennecke; and many nieces and nephews, who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Don; daughter-in-law, Donna Mangan; six brothers, Orville, Reed, Roger, Harley, Harvey and Oliver Olson; and two sisters, Sharon Meyer and Joyce McKeough.

Ellen was a hard worker all her life with many talents — and her greatest joy was working in her flower gardens and yard, which were admired by all. She loved to cook and bake and do whatever she could for her family. And if any event involved a good polka band, she was the first on the floor; her last wish was to dance one more time.

A memorial service for Ellen will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 15, 2016, at Valley Funeral Home, 2211 N. Richmond St., Appleton. Visitation will be held from 4 p.m. until the time of service.

We are so blessed to have had a mom and grandma that loved us so much that made saying goodbye so hard. But you will be with us always because of the threads of love you weaved into our hearts to carry on as your family. We love you and will forever.
