Ellen Fors, 61, passed away on February 24, 2016.
She was born Feb 6, 1955 in Rexburg, Idaho, but her life really began when she married John Fors on July 1, 1981. Together they had many adventures living in extremely remote places like Yellowstone Park and Alaska. Ellen happily took on every adventure as long as she was by John’s side.
Ellen’s primary focus in life was God and her family. She was kind and caring and loved giving things away to others. An avid arts and crafts lady, she spent thousands of hours with her children and grandchildren creating new projects. She had a strong addiction to purchasing craft bags and patterns, and would occasionally have to give away handfuls so she could make room to buy more.
She fought a fierce battle with multiple health ailments for many years, and now she is at peace. She will be greatly missed by survivors’ husband; John Fors, son; Paul Smith, daughter; Rebekah Abern, grandchildren; McKayla Smith, McKaydee Smith, Kyson Smith, Guinevere Abern and Jackson Abern, sisters; Jennifer Hayes and Millie Kolakowski, and daughter and son in law; Brier Smith and Jared Abern. She is preceded in death by parents; Louis and Lora Hayes, and a son; John David Fors.
A private remembrance ceremony will be held at a later date.
