Ellen Maxine Mussche
Aug. 24, 1929 - March 9, 2008

GRANGER - Ellen M. Mussche, 78, of Granger, formerly of Wilber Street, South Bend, passed away Sunday, March 9, 2008, with her family at her side in Saint Joseph Medical Center, Mishawaka. She was born on August 24, 1929, in Mishawaka, to the late Henry and Ellen (Neddo) Henke. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Robert Henke. On December 18, 1948, in Mishawaka, she married Adolf Mussche Jr., who passed away June 30, 1993. Ellen is survived by her loving family: her two daughters, Linda Konecny and her husband, Gene of South Bend, and Ellen Lawler-Emerick of Granger; nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild; and two brothers, Warren Henke and his wife, Gloria of Mishawaka, and Gene Henke and his wife, Barbara of Mishawaka. Ellen's faithful companion, "Kitty," her dog, and Sissy, will miss her greatly. One of her favorite things to do was to rock babies to sleep at Ellen's Daycare. She touched many little lives over a number of years. This made her very happy and in turn it made them very happy. We would like to thank our extended family "The Wilber Street Neighbors" for the many years of love and friendship they have shown. A funeral service will be held Wednesday, March 12, at 11 a.m. in the Welsheimer Family Funeral Home North, 17033 Cleveland Road. Friends may visit with her family one hour prior to the start of service. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park, Granger.
