Ellis Sowell
June 25, 1935 – April 3, 2025
It is with great sadness that the Club announces the passing of longtime member Ellis Sowell on April 3rd, 2025. Born on June 25, 1935, he passed away at age 89.
Ellis, along with his wife Sandra, was a charter member of the SaddleBrooke Hiking Club, having joined in the Club’s initial year, 1999. Sandra, having been a member for over 25 years and known to many of us, remains a member today. As Sandra related, early on Ellis prepared himself and succeeded in doing the rim-to-rim trek through the Grand Canyon. After that he was a very willing shuttler and hiker supporter.
You are invited to a service of worship and Celebration of Life on Saturday, May 3rd at 1:00 PM at Resurrection Lutheran Church at 11575 North First Avenue, Oro Valley, AZ 85737, with an ice cream social to follow where fellowship and memories can be shared.
Memorial contributions may be made in Ellis’ name to the Child Development Center of Resurrection Lutheran Church.
Sandra expresses her appreciation for the care and concern that have been expressed by so many in our community. For those wishing to send condolences, her home address is 63914 East Greenbelt Lane, Tucson, AZ 85739.
