facebook.com/jewishexponent The world lost beloved mother, grandmother,
sister and friend, Ellen Hope Bluestone, on
Wednesday, August 11, 2021. After a cour-
ageous battle against cancer, Ellen died in
hospice, surrounded by her three children
and the spiritual presence of loving friends
and family. Ellen is predeceased by her lov-
ing parents, Alexander and Shirley Bluestone,
her dear brother, Alex Bluestone, and her
cherished nephew, Alex Bluestone. Ellen is
survived by her sister Joanne, brother Fred,
daughter Jessica, sons Richard Wilmot and
Andrew Wilmot, their wives Sarah and Alissa,
and her treasured grandchildren, Blake, Vic-
toria, Claire, Geoffrey, Samantha, Christoph-
er and William, as well as niece, Elaine Baker,
nephew, Michael Feuerman, and other pre-
cious relatives. Ellen was born on October
8th, 1950 in Hollywood, Florida. Known by
her Nova High School classmates for her
magnetic smile and zeal for life, Ellen gradu-
ated at sixteen years of age and attended
Wellesley College, where she earned a de-
gree in Art History. As a young mother, Ellen
earned a Masters Degree in English from Vil-
lanova University and pursued a PhD in Liter-
ature at Rutgers University. Her storied ca-
reer also includes positions at Southern New
Hampshire University, Penn State, West
Chester University and other esteemed uni-
versities. In addition to teaching, Ellen cultiv-
ated her spirit and career, studying poetry,
painting and entrepreneurship, and creating a
successful business called The Mobile Pro-
fessor. Ellen also traveled the world, lived
overseas, saw important pieces of art in per-
son, and built friendships that traversed cul-
tural boundaries. Ellen spent her last five
years in the Art Museum district of Phil-
adelphia surrounded by magnificent art,
beautiful gardens, and devoted friends.

Whether she was exploring the Barnes Mu-
seum or participating in her cherished
Chabad, Ellen could be found beaming her
world-class smile and showering people with
love and attention. However, no role meant
more to Ellen than that of Bubby to her sev-
en grandchildren. Ellen indulged her grand-
children with all her means and loved them
with all her heart. Her imprint is everywhere:
on their bookshelves and in their excellent
vocabularies, and in their love of animals.
