Meredith Ellis

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Meredith Kane Ellis at the age of 39, who passed away peacefully on the morning of June 11th 2026, surrounded by her family and loved ones.

Born in Rochester New York and raised in Glens Falls Meredith lived a life filled with kindness, generosity, and an appreciation for the natural world. She earned her Bachelors degree from Saint Lawrence University in conservation biology, where a passion for protecting the environment flourished. In the summer before her senior year Meredith participated in a study abroad program in Kenya that would help shape the course of her life. There she met the love of her life Bryan Ellis. Following graduation they set off on a winding adventure taking them from living in Colorado, attending graduate school in Syracuse and later settling down to create a life together in Delmar to raise a family.

Meredith found joy in tending her garden, exploring hiking trails, camping, and hosting family and friends. She especially treasured sharing these experiences, and some of her favorite places such as the Adirondack Mountains and Acadia National Park creating countless cherished memories. Meredith loved to bring people together especially in her home. She delighted in hosting family during the holidays, holiday parties with friends, and backyard cookouts. Meredith had a gift for making everyone feel welcome and loved.

More than anything, Meredith loved her family. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother, a cherished daughter, and a beloved sister. Her warmth, generosity, and gentle spirit touched the lives of all who knew her.

Meredith is survived by her husband, Bryan Ellis and her daughter, Madeline Ellis; her mother, Lucie Kane; her father, Bill Kane; and her brother, Bobby Kane (Tabby). She also leaves behind many extended family members, friends, and loved ones who will deeply miss her presence and carry her memory in their hearts.

Though her time with us was far too short, Meredith’s love, strength, and spirit will continue in those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Meredith’s family will receive visitors at the Applebees Funeral Home, 403 Kenwood Ave. Delmar on Thursday June 18th from 5-8pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Kelly's Angels in her memory. https://www.kellysangelsinc.org/donate-ka

Meredith will be forever loved, missed, and remembered.
