Bob Jellen 

On Oct 9th, 2025, Bob Jellen, a founding member of the Willington Scholarship Foundation, passed away.  Bob was beloved by all and we were saddened to hear the news.  We will miss not only his famous deviled eggs at the annual receptions honoring the recipients but most importantly, his voice on behalf of Willington students.
