Ellen Hess

Ellen “Cookie” Hess was born in Detroit, Michigan on March 29, 1949, and the world was not prepared for the force of nature that she became. She is the daughter of Max Krugel. Over the course of her life, she has traveled much, loved much, and cared for many! On December 2, 2019 she followed her parents, family, and beloved friends through the veil. She touched so many lives, human and canine alike, that she will never truly be gone. She will live forever in our hearts and will be missed each and every day until we meet up again on the other side. Rest well, Cookie. We will see you again. You are invited to a Celebration of Cookie’s life at Gillies Funeral Home on Saturday, December 21, 2019 at 1 p.m. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Gillies Funeral Home and Cremation services.

I loved Cookie like a sister. We were best of friends growing up in Michigan and kept in touch when she moved to Washington. I will miss her for a long time to come and loved her dearly.
