She worked for the Hawaii State Senate, retiring as the Journal Clerk in 1993. She was respected and beloved. Ellen married Renji Goto on August 23, 1952. They were inseparable and lived together happily for 62 years, traveling near and far together. They raised two children, Jennifer (John) and John (Jana). She and Papa played a very special role in the raising of their three grandsons, Ioane Ren, Naki Satoru, and Kauanui Kichizo.
