In Memory Of

Katie Agnes Ellsworth, age 90, of Hinsdale, Montana

April 12, 1930 – January 2, 2021

Katie A Ellsworth, age 90, passed away on Saturday, January 2, 2021 at home in Hinsdale, Montana.

She was born in Hinsdale on April 12, 1930, the daughter of Daniel & Margaret (Sherry) Gaasch. She joined five siblings, where they were raised on the farm on Cache Creek. She attended school in Hinsdale. When Katie was young, she enjoyed riding horses and chasing milk cows. Katie talked about a trip she took in her teens when she went to California to visit family where she met the last surviving member of the “Dalton Gang”.

On December 21, 1947, she married Lee E. Ellsworth in Hinsdale. Katie loved the ranch life, raising her children and dancing. She worked at the local restaurants and enjoyed working at the Hinsdale school as a cook. Katie spent many hours following the sports of her children and grandchildren. She also taped all the games that were aired on the radio and gave copies to the athletes that were involved. Katie loved to sew and make quilts.   Many of her quilts she entered several in the fair exhibits. She made all her grandchildren memory quilts that they can cherish for years to come.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Lee; sons Dan and Dean;  sisters, Dannette Korven, Mar­ion Porteen, and  Sherry Burns; and brothers, Pete and Daniel “Buck”.

Katie is survived by her children, Ralph (Terri) Ellsworth, John Ellsworth, & Darla Webb; 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
