Mrs. Ellen Marie Caston, 68, died on Saturday, Feb. 28 as a result of a car accident in the vicinity of Pittsboro. She was a wonderful person who made this world a much better place because of what she brought to it. So many lives were better because she touched them along the way.
As an ER nurse, an assisted-living nurse, a nanny or as the most wonderful of friends, she touched so many folks. She loved people and made friends so easily, as they loved her in return. Her love of life was further revealed by the wonderful joy she found in her Christmas and Halloween yard decorations year after year.
She was born July 15, 1940 to Nelson Walker and Ruth (Smith) Walker. Originally from Huntington, IN, she is survived by her husband, Daniel W. Caston of North Carolina; brother; George Walker; son, Allen D. Horsley of Huntington, IN; daughters Ann M.(Ted) Johnson of Huntington, IN and Carla J. Horsley of Yorkville, Il., stepson, Kirk Caston of North Carolina; stepdaughter, Tami Stewart of North Carolina; grandchildren Jeremy Johnson and Jason Johnson of Huntington, IN; step-grandchildren Kasarai Stewart and Samuel Stewart of North Carolina; and great grandchild, Josiah Johnson of Huntington, IN. She will also be missed by her beloved German shepherd, J.R.
The world is not quite as wonderful with the passing of this precious lady. We are all so thankful that we were blessed with her presence in our lives.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, March 5, 2009, at 10 a.m. at Orange United Methodist Church.
