It is with a heavy heart that WUMR must report that Evelyn J. Ellington passed away in the morning of Thursday, March 21, 2013.This is definitely a tough blow as she was sick a short while, but was expected that she would fully recover from respiratory issues, complicated by pneumonia. 

At this moment, U92 is working on a way to salute her that would be befitting the great person that she was, and any condolences you wish to send to the station are much appropriate and appreciated.For those of you who may not have met her or may not remember her, click here to see her DJ Profile.
