Ellen Agnes Loughlin
Of Tucson, AZ, died after a long, brave battle against chronic, disseminated Lyme Disease on May 19, 2006. She was 56 years old. Born on March 23, 1950 in Tachikowa, Japan to the late Lt. Colonel Charles Thomas Loughlin (USAF, retired) and Beatrice Gunning of Remsenburg, Long Island, NY, she was a graduate of Westhampton Beach High School in Westhampton Beach, Long Island, NY, and completed her undergraduate work at Stony Brook University, NY. Her postgraduate degree in Education was completed at the University of California in Los Angeles, CA. She is survived by three sisters, Patricia Loughlin Stanley of Tucson, Janet Loughlin Rubin of Remsenburg, Long Island, NY, and Elizabeth Marie Loughlin of Islip Terrace, Long Island, NY; a maternal aunt, Mari Gunning Hart of Lido Beach, Long Island, NY; five cousins; five nephews; and one niece. A accomplished musician and artist, Ellen had many interests including, skiing, ice-skating, swimming, and horseback riding, to name a few. However, she will perhaps best be remembered by her strong Catholic faith, as well as her life-long love of children, and how selflessly-devoted she was to all children, particularly her third grade students, her niece, her nephews, and all their friends. People in Tucson grew to know and love the kind, generous person simply known as "Aunt Ellen" to so many. A funeral mass will be celebrated in honor of Ellen's life on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 1000 a.m. at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church on Campbell Ave. Rosary will be prayed Friday evening at 600 p.m. also at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church. In addition a mass of the Christian Burial will be celebrated on June 22, 2006 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Quiogue, Long Island, NY with interment to follow in Remsenburg, Long Island, NY. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations please be made to Lyme Disease Foundation, 1 Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06013.q --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
