Mary Ellen Gould, of Winston Salem, North Carolina, died January 9. Mary Ellen was an outstanding flower arranger, frequently using her husband’s daffodils in her arrangements. She won the arrangement sweepstakes at the Cincinnati ADS convention in 2001, and wrote an article for the Dec. 2011 Journal about arranging daffodils effectively.
Mary Ellen and her husband Bill, who had been married nearly 70 years, attended almost every convention. Bill was known as a hybridizer of superb pink-cupped daffodils and as an artist. His paintings were a top feature of the auction at each ADS convention.
