Ellen was born Jan 26, 1929 in Tappen, ND to Gottlieb and Lydia (Wittmier) Harter. She was raised and educated in Tappen, graduating from Tappen High School. She attended college for a time. On Nov 28, 1948, Ellen married Emil Hockhalter in Jamestown, ND. There, she worked for Farmers Union Insurance. They relocated to Minneapolis, back to Jamestown and then settled in Steele in 1952. Ellen worked for Kidder County Social Services for 29 years.
Ellen's family and friends were the joy of her life. She loved having a house full and never wanted to miss a thing. She enjoyed singing in the choir at the Lutheran Church, cooking, baking, making pickles, crossword puzzles, having coffee with her girlfriends, Birthday Club and watching Days of our Lives. Our mom will be deeply missed by all.
