On November 30th, staff from Deaconess Children’s Services, along with many Snohomish County employees and friends, bid Janice Ellis a fond farewell as she leaves her position as Snohomish County Prosecutor. Janice Ellis, who has made countless contributions as a member of the Deaconess Board of Trustees since 2003, is moving to the position of Prosecutor for Tulalip Tribes.
During her farewell reception, colleagues and co-workers described her as a compassionate champion for crime victims, a dedicated leader to her staff, an advocate for the children of Snohomish County – especially for her work with Deaconess and Dawson Place – and most importantly as a friend who can be counted on. Janice was honored with awards from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and a Resolution from the Snohomish County Council and was presented with gifts by members of her staff. About one hundred people attended the event.
Deaconess staff and trustees offer Janice best wishes as she embarks on her new endeavor and thank her for her hard work and dedication in serving the Deaconess child!
For 114 years, Deaconess has been transforming the lives of children in the Pacific Northwest by breaking the cycle of child abuse and neglect and putting Children First!
