Obituary

Jocelyn “Joy” Ellenby, nee Robinson, age 93, of Northbrook; beloved wife for 69 years of the late Herman Ellenby; loving mother of Marc (Kiki) Ellenby, Cher (Scott) Harris, and Dana (Art Bergeron) Ellenby-Bergeron; adored Grandma Joy of Adena (Walter), Aliya (Marcelo), Jody, Levi, Dr. Stefan (Katie), Bennett (Adrienne), Hugh (Amy), and Sophie (Harry); proud greatmother of Mateo, Teva, Lisandro, Sebastian, Felix, Marlowe, and Ferrin; devoted daughter of the late Philip and the late Esther Robinson; cherished sister of Leslie Robinson; dear sister-in-law of Dr. Jay (Teeny) Ellenby, and the late Milton (Helaine) Ellenby and the late Julius (late Anita) Ellenby; treasured aunt and friend to many. Jocelyn had a great admiration for style, beauty, and elegance, and these were reflected in her looks, her clothing, and her home. Foremost, it is so fitting that she was known throughout her life as "Joy." No one more greatly relished unbridled laughter. She had a childlike love of fun, even silliness. That was the abiding trait in her connections to her girlfriends, which remained strong to the end. Her dedication to fun and laughter made her a marvelous grand and great grandmother. Her kids and their families always brought out Joy's best qualities. It is most comforting to know that throughout the generations to come, she will always remain "Grandma Joy." Graveside service Friday, 1:30 p.m. at Westlawn Cemetery, Carnation Section, 7801 W. Montrose, Norridge. The service will be livestreamed at www.goldmanfuneralgroup.com.
