was never daunted by challenges or unusual opportunities to learn about the world, including living in Brazil for two and a half years when their children were young. She and Marvin traveled to 39 countries and welcomed numerous international visitors into their home. They hosted and traveled as members of the Friendship Force of Wisconsin, Walking the World, American Field Service, and on their own. Ellouise loved classical and choral music and sang in the UW Choral Union for decades. She was a longtime member of the League of Women Voters, AFS, and a neighborhood book group. She delivered Meals on Wheels for years and was a consistent blood donor to the American Red Cross. Ellouise is survived by her husband Marvin Beatty; daughters Julie Beatty (Andrew Yee), Melbourne, Australia; Janet Beatty (David Eckhardt), Boulder, Colorado; Jenny Beatty, Madison, Wisconsin; and Joy Nelson (Kevin), Eagle River, Wisconsin; and grandchildren Beatty, Walker, and Lexi Nelson; Theodora Beatty; and Lauren Eckhardt. Ellouise was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Henry H. Skinner, Jr. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. David T. Watts and the Oakwood Village staff at Covenant Oaks and Hebron Oaks, and to the staff at the UW Carbone Cancer Center, for their skilled and compassionate care of Ellouise.
