Ellen Dalzell

My name is Ellen Dalzell. I am a "transplanted" Southerner...born in Pensacola, Florida. At age eleven, my family moved to North Carolina. It was here that I attended college and began my teaching career. Subsequent moves and teaching assignments took me to Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia.

Thirty five years of teaching and many moves later, I find myself living in Oak Grove, Missouri and happily serving as a part-time educator at Timothy Lutheran School.

Other than my role as teacher, I am mother to two adult children. My son is a professional chef in Kansas City, and my daughter is a professional photographer in Jefferson City. I am also a proud grandmother to five exceptionally wonderful grandchildren.

In addition to parenting, grandparenting, and teaching, I enjoy gardening, reading, traveling, and spoiling Bella, my cute four-legged canine companion. I am affectionately referred to as "The Frog Lady" at Timothy for my extensive collection of various kinds of frogs. They are a constant reminder to... F.R.O.G.—— FULLY RELY ON GOD.
