Elizabeth A. Deignan
Liza is the president of Ellaway Property Services and a great cheerleader for our clients and the Connection Program. Before starting Ellaway in 1999, Liza was a project manager in the technology industry and moved to Woodstock in 1988 to open a bed and breakfast in the center of Woodstock Village.  Liza believes wholeheartedly in supporting the community.  She was an officer of the Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce, and currently is the Vice President of the Thompson Senior Center Board of Trustees.  Liza contributes to Ellaway with her project management skills and ability to assist clients to attain their dreams. email Liza (and check out a few of her wedding pictures to Dan - even though they are an old married couple now!)


Dan Bellmore
Daniel hails from Maine and spent many years in banking with a stint in
retail sales in the middle of his career.  Dan left TD Banknorth in 2006 and helped establish Ellaway's Attic in downtown Woodstock. Dan has a Bachelor's and a Master's in Business Administration.
Dan also works for Ellaway Property Services as needed but spends most of his spare time picking up and delivering consignments for the shop.
Dan and Liza married in 2003 and they spend their free time travelling and with their children.

Trina Perkins
Trina Perkins has been with Ellaway since the summer of 2000 and is the glue that holds us all together.  She is the person you’ll most likely speak with when you call our office.  In her cheery and optimistic manner, she’ll see that we get all of your tasks completed.  And when you get a voice mail message from her – be patient, she’ll give you all the possible details!  Have no fear – if Trina is on the task, it will be done!  Trina loves to hike and be out in the woods in her spare time and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Green Mountain Club. email

Nancy Mills
Nancy brings her many years of bookkeeping and gardening skills, as well as construction knowledge, to the Ellaway team. She loves to organize closets and kitchens. In her spare time, Nancy is devoted to her passions of antique hooked rug repair and making lampshades and pillows from vintage linens.  She is the real artist in the group, and painted our 2006 New Years card! email
Wittie Lynn
Wittie is the source of all computer assistance at Ellaway. In her previous life, Wittie managed computer support departments and taught computer usage in NYC.  She moved to Woodstock in the early 90’s and ran Aubergine (a most unusual kitchen store in Woodstock) with her husband. In 2001 Wittie joined Ellaway part time to do bookkeeping and some computer graphics work. Now she also works at Stone Dental. In her free time, Wittie is not an artist but we convinced her to paint the Ellaway 2005 New Year’s card. It’s great - want to see it? Wittie loves to travel and is going to try to learn Japanese before her trip to Japan. email
Ellen Bartlett
Ellen has been with Ellaway since 2001. Before moving to Vermont, she was a real estate broker in Massachusetts. Her love of gardening and horse back riding drew her to this area.  At Ellaway you will find her in the field, not in the office, managing projects, checking homes in winter, designing & maintaining gardens. 
Norm Frates
Norman Frates Sr. is our treasured handyman. He is retired from serving as the principal at Woodstock Elementary School for many years. We are sharing Norm’s “golden years” with him keeping him very busy with all our clients’ small repair projects and endless “odd jobs”.
Fiona McElwain
Fiona moved to Woodstock from Canada twenty years ago.  During this time she has enjoyed being involved with community organizations such as the Pentangle Council on the Arts and the Woodstock Historical Society. Her long association with Ellaway Property Services has allowed her to take her love of gardening and run with it to other people’s properties as well as her own!

Jill Hastings
Jill moved to Barnard Vermont from Eastern Long Island in 2000, where she owned and operated a take-out gourmet shop and catering business for many years.  Wanting a change of hats and always eager to meet new people, Jill’s love of the outdoors has drawn her to the Ellaway gardening team.  In the winter months, Jill helps with household organizing – she’s awesome!  In 2009 she and her husband Dick organized a great scavenger hunt for us.

Kit Mead
Kit moved to Woodstock over ten years ago and has spent many of those years working in and managing retail stores.  She helped us set up our new high end furniture and home accessories consignment shop called Ellaway’s Attic that is located right in the heart of historic Woodstock.   She is also a member of our enthusiastic gardening team and a recent member of the Woodstock Garden Club.  email
Marsha Fraser
Marsha has lived in the area since 1971 and comes to us with a background in outdoor education. She was an instructor for the National Outdoor Leadership School www.nols.edu  and a tour leader for Bike Vermont www.bikevt.com.   In addition, she was a property manager and contractor, working in these fields for many years in the Killington region and Florida. She especially enjoys managing construction and maintenance projects both large and small. She is also a licensed real estate agent in the state of Vermont.  In her free time she enjoys sailing her trimaran on Lake Champlain. email

Martha McNealus
Princess of Ellaway's Attic and gardener extraordinaire.  Martha lives in Woodstock with her husband, 2 children and 3 dogs.

Karen Harkins
Karen is a native of the area.  Bookkeeping is the talent that brought her to Ellaway, but she is now growing into one of our premier project managers.  When she is not here, she is with her husband watching their "sporting" daughters.  She loves playing golf and sitting at any ocean beach.

Bo Gibbs
Bo escaped from the nation’s capital and moved to Woodstock in the early 70’s. She spent her retail life at Bloemenwinkel, a flower shop in Lebanon, and is now part of Elllaway Property Services. If she is not there you can find her pruning, working in a garden or walking her dog Lucy.

    

Pam Van Horn
Pam Van Horn had been with us since the beginning of Ellaway after selling her company, Community Management Services, to Liza in 1999. Pam’s many years of Condominium Association management experience have been invaluable to us and our residential and commercial condominium clients.  After spending many years volunteering with the Red Cross Disaster Action Team and Civil Air Patrol, Pam went to nursing school.  Now she is a RN!   We all miss her!
