Ellen Bridgham
SCARBOROUGH – Ellen Bridgham, 84, of Scarborough, passed away peacefully at her home on March 10, 2025.
Born on April 25, 1940, she grew up in South Portland. She met the love of her life, Wayne, and they were married in 1963. After making stops from Hawaii to Machias while Wayne served in the Air Force, they settled in Cape Elizabeth to raise their family. During her time there, Ellen became very active in the Cape Elizabeth United Methodist Church, and the community in general. They then retired to a Scarborough senior community where she thrived. Ellen loved life and will be remembered for her vigor and wicked sense of humor.
She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Wayne, of Scarborough; sons Mark (with wife, Mary) of Ellsworth, Mitchell of Westbrook and daughter, Sheri (with husband, Dave) of Scarborough; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren which gave her immense joy.
The family will remember her in a private ceremony.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to: St Jude’s Children’s Hospital or their local food pantry.
