Obituary of Ellen Mary (Baner) Rohan
Ellen Mary (Baner) Rohan, 89, of Tucson, Arizona, passed away peacefully surrounded by
family on Friday, September 20th, 2019. Born on August 5, 1930, in Brooklyn, New York to the
late William and Mary Baner, she spent her earlier years living on Long Island, New York, prior
to moving to San Diego then Tucson. She was predeceased by her husband Patrick Rohan,
son Gerard Rohan, grandson Troy Locke, and four brothers William, Joseph, Gerard, and
Charles.
Ellen, also known as “Nanny” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, is survived by her
daughter Catherine (Richard) Draper of Hudson, New York, Doreen (Geoff) Griffin of Chula
Vista, California, Patrick (Maureen) Rohan of Tucson, Arizona, Mary Ellen (Michael) Coffey of
Tucson, Arizona, and Bridget (Dave) Mitchell of Prescott, Arizona. She is also survived by her
eleven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. She leaves behind many other family
members and friends who will sadly miss her.
Our mother and grandmother was a member of the St. Pius X Catholic Church community, and
loved volunteering, teaching, and sharing her faith with countless others. For many years she
worked as a LPN, and throughout her life loved spending time with her family, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, cooking, baking, and enjoying a delicious piece of chocolate or
Entenmann’s danish. She was a blue-eyed, strong-willed, determined, and fiercely
independent woman who will be missed every day.
A funeral mass will be held at 10:00am Friday, October 4th, 2019, at St. Pius X Catholic
Church, in Tucson. Private burial will be at a later date in the Long Island National Cemetery,
Farmingdale, New York.
