Ruth Ellen Alley McLellan
For those of you who have been followers of my blog, you may have noticed that I have not posted any Bites of Food History since August 21, 2009.
I was blessed with being able to be with my Mother, Ruth Ellen Alley McLellan at her passing August 26,2009 in my home state of Maine. I have many things to be thankful for as my Mother had her 87th birthday in January and I was there. I was there on Mother’s Day. She always lived independently in her home and was in good health despite her many mobility issues with arthritis. She was my unconditional support, my cheerleader and always listened intently about all my adventures with food history and travel.
All of the work that I do in food history will now be in the memory of Ruth Ellen Alley McLellan 1922-2009, Guy Stanwood McLellan 1919-1998, Viola Caroline Wood Alley 1898-1978 and Leslie Earl Alley 1895-1988.
