Virginian-Pilot  November 2, 2008
NORFOLK - Ellen Virginia Byrnes Huber, 83, widow of Robert Lee Huber and longtime 
resident of Norfolk, died Oct. 30, 2008, after a brief illness.

Born in Essex, Md., April 20, 1925, Ellen grew up in Baltimore and was also a 
resident of Richmond, Va., before moving to Norfolk in 1964.

Ellen was the daughter of the late Charles Henry Byrnes and Genevieve McDonnell 
Byrnes. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lee Huber and a son, 
James Mark Huber. She is survived by a sister, Catherine Blair of Catonsville, 
Md., and 10 children and their spouses: Barbara and Donny Price, Katherine Huber, 
Bill Huber, Nancy and Kenny Jolemore, Mary and Kenn Turner, all of Norfolk, Thomas 
Huber and Elizabeth Huber of Virginia Beach, Marian Huber and John Blandin of 
Parksley, John Huber and fiancée Megan O'Brien of Williamsburg and Robert Huber of 
Florida; grandchildren, Ananda Jolemore Southard, Brian and Amena Jolemore, Mary 
Ellen and Kevin Price, Sara Huber Johnson, Jessica and Kimberly Turner and Rob 
Huber; great-grandchildren, Gabrielle, Brandon and Damien Johnson, Jasper and 
Dakota Smith and Nolan Southard.

Ellen led an interesting and productive life and touched many people with her 
kindness. She worked first as a nurse and caregiver and later as a teacher. She 
was an active volunteer for National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). She found 
time in the midst of the chaos of raising 11 children to sew their clothing, head 
up Scout troops, volunteer at church and school and even help out with the Poor 
People's March on Washington in 1968.

Ellen was a resident of Harbour Pointe Nursing Center for the past 2½ years after 
suffering a stroke in May 2006. She will be missed by her dear roommate at Harbour 
Pointe, Melodie Phipps. The family appreciates the care and attention given to 
Ellen by the wonderful staff at Harbour Pointe and the compassionate nurses at 
Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. Also appreciated was the religious ministry 
provided by Dr. Patrick Hennelly from Sacred Heart Church.

Ellen's life will be celebrated in a memorial Mass at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, at 
Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Graydon Avenue in Norfolk. Mass will be followed 
by a gathering of family and friends in the church social hall. Please share your 
memories of Ellen with the family at H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments' site, 
www.hdoliver.com.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made NAMI, P.O. Box 8260, Richmond, 
VA 23226-0260. Private burial will be at a later date in St. Mary's Cemetery.
