Ellen Gertrude was named after Ellen, her mother's twin, and after her mother Getrude. Her death certificate filled out by her daughter Phyllis lists Ellen's place of birth as Baldock Hitchin. She attended school in Littlington. She was a devoted homemaker. Besides looking after her own children Phyllis and Denis, she likewise for several years took care of Daphne and Maureen, her nieces. She loved knitting quilts and entertaining her grandchildren on holiday. She was active in the Congregational church and attended the "Homemakers," a women's group.

She used to say, "You have to eat a little bit of dirt before you die."
When Clare was a child, Grandma Smith would always give her half a pomegrenate when she visited and Clare didn't like having to pick out all the seeds, put them in her mouth and then spit them back out once you got all the pip out of the seed. She would always bake Mark a Lemon Merangue pie.
