Ms. Mary Ellen Wene

December 25, 1939 - January 13, 2020

Mary Ellen Wene, 80, of Sylvester, passed away January 13, 2020, surrounded by her family. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 25th at 3:00 PM, at the Worth County Community Center (1310 North Monroe Street, Sylvester, Georgia, 31791). She was born to the late Edith Kellum and Oliver Hiner, December 25, 1939, in Flemington, New Jersey. Ellen graduated from Tom’s River High School in 1959 and joined the Navy where she served for two years. Following her time in the Navy, Ellen continued to serve her country as a dedicated military spouse and mother, traveling the world with her family. The family spent time in Japan, Italy, Sicily, and several U.S. states. Later in life, Ellen continued visiting various states across the country with her close friend, Buck Vinson. A kind-hearted, gregarious woman, Ellen never met a stranger. She loved to make people laugh, with her many jokes, and was always eager to lend a hand to someone in need. As a loving mother and grandmother, Ellen prioritized the happiness of her family and enjoyed supporting her grandchildren at their many athletic and academic events. She is survived by her daughters, Kelly Pollock and Sherri Wene; grandchildren, Dr. Erica Pollock and Shane Pollock; sister and brother-in-law, Ginny and Dick Clark; nieces, Allison Niday (Paul) and Leah Clark; great nephew, Christopher Niday; and great niece, Lauren Niday. Ellen was preceded in death by her parents and brother, James Couch.
