Obituary For Ellen K. Partridge
Ellen Kathleen Partridge, 62, of Rockland, Massachusetts died Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at South Shore Hospital due to injuries sustained in an accident. Her family was with her when she passed. Born on May 1, 1954 in Quincy, Ellen was the second child of Ernest and Mary Partridge. She moved to Rockland as a very young child and graduated from Rockland High School in 1972. She worked as a cashier at Stop and Shop in Abington for the past eighteen years. She previously worked at WearGuard in Norwell and Electro Signal Lab in Rockland. Ellen was a friendly, generous soul and always had a smile or a kind word for everyone. Ellen enjoyed spending her time with family and friends especially her niece, nephews and grandnephew.
She was a master at crochet and created many beautiful and useful items for people in her life. It was highly unusual to see Ellen without her bag of yarn and her newest crochet project in tote. Ellen appreciated the Rockland Memorial Library; she visited every Wednesday to hold her weekly drop-in crochet group. Ellen was a member of the Rockland Democratic Town Committee and the VFW in Abington. She was a fan of the Boston Red Sox and loved her annual trip to Fenway Park with her brother and her nephews. Ellen is survived by her dear mother, Mary L (Duggan) Partridge of Rockland, three loving siblings and (spouses): Christine Dion (Earl) of Norton, Maureen Bono (Stephen Sr.) of Whitman, and James Partridge (Kimberly Butman) of Rockland as well as six beloved nephews and niece Michael Dion of Ft Lauderdale FL, Stephen Bono Jr. (Cathleen Tarr) of Franklin MA, Christine Bono of Quincy MA, Brian Partridge (Elizabeth Golini) of Brooklyn, NY, Kevin Partridge of Rockland MA and Gregory Bono of Franklin MA. She is also survived by her long-time companion, Peter Cantwell of Rockland MA. She is preceded in death by her father, Ernest E. Partridge. The family welcomes relatives and friends to celebrate her life on Wednesday December 28, 2016 at Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home, 135 Union Street in Rockland from 5pm-8pm. A Funeral Service will be held at 11am on Thursday December 29, 2016 at the Funeral Home. Burial will be private at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts in Ms. Partridge's memory can be made to Friends of Rockland Memorial Library, 20 Belmont Street, Rockland, MA 02370.

I was shocked to hear about Ellen's passing. She will be greatly missed. I will always miss her smile, laugh, and conversations. She was the most kindest, sweetest person I have ever met. It is not going to feel the same going to Stop and Shop and not seeing her.
Your long time neighbor,

Oh Ellen I can't believe I won't see you at Stop & Shop any longer. I always went to your register and you always had a smile and asked how I was and how my family was. How's Lee and the kids was the first thing you would say .. We knew you for so long and you were just a genuinely nice and warmhearted person. I realized after I heard of your passing that we really don't meet too many people like you in this world and you will be missed more than you could ever have imagined. My sympathy goes out to your loved ones and I will keep them in my prayers.. I will miss you

I only knew Ellen over the years as a customer at S&S where Ellen was my frequent cashier. I was always impressed by not only how efficient she was but also in how conscientious she was in "getting it right", both for the store & the customer.
My most amusing anecdote from my dealings w/ Ellen was when she sent me back to the bread aisle to get another pkg of Thomas' English muffins because the sale was "Buy 1, Get 2" when I had only brought 2 pkgs to the counter.
She knew her job well & did it w/ dispatch. From what's been written here, it seems she admirably carried that quality over to all aspects of her life.
I'm sorry this condolence is so late, as I only learned of Ellen's tragic passing when I returned to shopping today after the holidays. I wondered why she wasn't at her "post" during her usual working hours. ... She will be missed by the employees as well as regular customers at S&S Abington.
My sympathies to her family & colleagues; she was taken way too soon. -

Sincere condolences to Ellen's family and friends. I just recently reconnected with Ellen as a FB friend. I enjoyed reading posts and updates of her adventures. I've not seen Ellen since high school days as I've lived away from Rockland since 1980 but I did hear from other classmates of her happy greeting and big smile for everyone she encountered. I am very sorry for such a tragic loss.
