She spent the first thirty years of life in her home state, attending college at Missisisippi University for Women and teaching public school music classes in Columbus, MS. A move to Washington, DC, in 1980 offered another career opportunity as executive secretary at the Shipbuilders Council of America.
While in DC Ellen met and married Ned Cummings, an Air Force officer, and enjoyed the last ten years of his military career. Ellen and Ned now live in Virginia Beach, VA, where he teaches English and Humanities at local colleges. Ellen served as Director of Children's Ministries, Programs Director, and Director of Adult Discipleship & Missions at Baylake United Methodist Church until retirement in 2012.
This last position led to opportunities to support mission endeavors in South Sudan, and to travel widely in this newest world country. Ellen's passion for this part of the world - it's people and challenges - has led her to lobbying efforts as well as hands on mission involvement.
Ellen and Ned have two children: Rebecca, who is an editor in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Frederick who is in the U.S. Navy.view less
