Margarita Condas Ellis (92), known to friends and family as Margaret, or Mag, or Maggie, passed away on 7/21/2024 after a brief illness. She had a zest for life, shown mostly by her love of people and enjoying their company.

Maggie is survived by her brother George (Mary Ellen) Condas, her sister Tessie Condas, stepdaughter Kittie (Frank) Borden, of Afton, WY, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren, all of Star Valley, WY, and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband Jack Ellis, her parents, her brothers John (Marilee) Condas and Harry (Rena) Condas, her fiancé Bill Blain, and stepdaughter Terri (Ross) Merica.
