Margaret Anne Ellis, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 12, 2026 at the age of 83.

Margaret was born on June 14, 1942 in Sacramento, California. She spent most of her life in the Bay Area, where she built a life centered on family, community, and quiet acts of kindness. Margaret worked for many years as a school librarian, where she was known for her patience, warmth, and deep love of books.

She found joy in gardening, walking along the coast, and hosting Sunday dinners for her family. Margaret had a gentle spirit and a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome.

Margaret is survived by her two children, Daniel Ellis and Rebecca Morgan; her son-in-law Michael Morgan; and her four grandchildren, Lucas, Hannah, Grace, and Samuel.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Ellis.

The family will hold a private remembrance gathering in the coming weeks.

Margaret’s kindness and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
