BOARDMAN — Ellen Jayne Hart, 90, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully Monday, Nov. 23, 2020, at Hospice House in Poland, following a weeklong illness.
She was born May 11, 1930, in Youngstown, a daughter of Kenneth and Isabell Ziegler Mahan, and lived for several years of her childhood in Martins Ferry, before returning to Boardman.
Known as “E.J.” to her many friends, she was a 1948 graduate of Boardman High School. Prior to her marriage, she worked as secretary to the president of the former Home Savings and Loan in downtown Youngstown.
On March 31, 1951, she married John Robert Hart, and they shared 65 years of loving marriage before his passing in May 2016. They made their home in Boardman, where they raised their eight children and spent many happy times celebrating holidays and special occasions with their children, grandchildren and large, extended family. They loved going dancing, taking day trips and dining out.
Ellen Jayne was a longtime and active member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, where she served as a greeter, was a member of the Altar and Rosary Society and Seton Club, sang in the Bereavement Choir and for many years served as a sponsor for those in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program.
A longtime poll worker for the Mahoning County Board of Elections, she also was an avid library patron and voracious reader and enjoyed working crosswords and other puzzles. For many years she served on her high school reunion committees.
Ellen Jayne will forever be remembered for her quiet, sweet demeanor, and kind and loving heart.
She is survived by her children, Jack Hart of Aztec, N.M., Thomas Hart and his wife Jodie of Boardman, Karen Gresh and her husband James “Jay” of Austintown, Kathleen Weaver and her husband Craig of Boardman, Michael Hart and his wife Sue of Boardman, Brian Hart of Boardman, and Richard Hart and his wife, Lisa Abraham, of Warren; grandchildren, Eric Hart of Boardman, R.J.
