She graduated from Syracuse University, with a degree in child development.

She taught in a variety of preschool settings including: The Laboratory Nursery School at Syracuse University, The Ann L. Page Demonstration School at Wellesley College, but most of her teaching was at Edgewood Co-op Nursery School in E. Lansing, Mich., (where she lived for more than 30 years.) As a professional, she believed in the importance of play for children, universal in all cultures and essential to development.

She enjoyed travel, especially viewing the topography of many countries in the world. She met her husband of 53 years in Norway, and they lived for a time in England, Hawaii, and for 3½ years in Japan, where she again taught Japanese children in public preschools. (Although she did not know Japanese, she believed play does not need spoken language.) Most of all, she found pleasure in traveling, often on tenting trips to her children and grandchildren, wherever they were living. She and her husband had just returned from Hawaii, and visits with family, prior to entering hospice Nov. 6, 2013.

Ellie liked mountains, snow, sun, and the water. Thus, she was especially pleased to retire in Vermont, where they had spent many vacations, visiting family and camping on their land in Marshfield. Canoeing and tending her flower garden were also favorite activities. She also loved the community of Montpelier. She did volunteer work for many years at the Family Center and at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier. She was a strong advocate for "green" issues, and urged all people to fully insulate their homes.

Ellie is survived by her husband, Harris; her daughter, Debbie McMaster, Debbie's husband, Charley and children, Callie and Ben of Pepperell, Mass.; son, Jim Webster, Jim's wife, Therese Glowacki and children, Maggie and Grant of Niwot, Colo.; son, Tom Webster and Tom's wife, Laurel and children, Abby and Rebecca of University Place, Wash.; and her daughter, Cyndi Webster of East Lansing, Mich.; as well as her sister, Marjorie Bowler of Newtown Square, Pa. Her brother, Dick Cressey and her sister, Fran Seasholes had died previously.

There will be a memorial service for Ellie at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier, on a date to be announced. She has donated her body to UVM Medical School, and her ashes will then be buried in the Webster family plot in Bennington.

Many Honors
In his lifetime, Dr. Cressey was honored by many world groups. His great talents and his vast knowledge of many countries in the world were recognized by research foundations which made study grants to further his work. Probably one of the distinctions of which Dr. Cressey was most proud was accorded him by his own Syracuse University — his academic home for 32 years. This honor came in 1951 when he was given the distinguished service title of Maxwell Professor of Geography. Prior to that he had been chairman of the department of geology and geography for many years.

In appointing Dr. Cressey as Maxwell Professor of Geography, Syracuse University Chancellor William P. Tolley described it as "a very unusual action in recognition of a very unusual career of distinction and devotion." Speaking of Prof. Cressey yesterday, Chancellor Tolley said "Those of us who were privileged to know him as a friend experienced a warmth and loyalty that was a blessing indeed. "While we mourn his loss we are lifted up with gratitude for his ennobling presence in our midst for so long a time," he said.

During his career he wrote 10 books, seven of them on the geography of Asia. His latest publication in June 1963 was a completely revised and rewritten third edition of "Asia's Lands and People," a geography of one-third of the earth and two-thirds of its people. Other volumes include "Land of the 500 Million," a geography of China; "Crossroads," land and life in southwest Asia, and "Soviet Potentials," a geographic appraisal.

Native of Ohio, Dr. Cressey was born Dec. 15, 1896. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1918 from Denison University. Two years later he was awarded a Master of Science degree by the University of Chicago. He later earned two doctorates, one in geology from the University of Chicago in 1923, and the other in geography from Clark University in 1931.

Dr. Cressey taught for six years at the University of Shanghai before his appointment to the Syracuse faculty in 1931. Dr. Cressey served for a time as a consultant to the Chinese government in the early 1930s. He was also geographic consultant to the Great Soviet World Atlas. The world famed geographer was credited with having spent about 10 years in RESIDENCE and half a million miles of traveling in most parts of Asia. In China he was familiar with every province as well as with Mongolia and Tibet. He had made four visits to the Soviet Union, and traveled in nine of the 15 Republics, and made five trips across the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Lived in Beirut
He had also spent periods of RESIDENCE in Beirut and Baghdad, and had seen all of the countries of the Near East from Turkey to Afghanistan and south to Arabia. Many honors came to Dr. Cressey during is lifetime. He was president of the International Geographical Union from, 1949 to 1952. The American Geographical Society bestowed its Davidson Gold Medal on Dr. Cressey in 1952. In 1957, the Association of American Geographers made Dr. Cressey its honorary president. He served from 1953 to 1957 as vice president of the Presbyterian Foreign Board.The National Council For Geographic Education gave its Distinguished Service Award to Dr. Cressey in 1958. In 1960, Dr. Cressey was president of the Association for Asian Studies, and in 1961-62 he was designated as national visiting scholar of Phi Beta Kappa.

Won Citation
He was accorded honorary memberships in many organizations, among them the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, the Italian Geographical Society, the Geographic Society of Portugal, the University of Uruguay and the Geographical Society of LaPaz. The Society of Earth Sciences of Berlin, the second oldest geographical society in the world, awarded and honorary membership to Dr. Cressey. The citation read: "The Society of Earth Sciences of Berlin on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of its founding, names the Maxwell professor of geography at Syracuse University, Dr. George B. Cressey, in recognition of his outstanding work in the fields of geographical knowledge and his great service for unifying the science of geography as honorary member."

Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Marion Chatfield Cressey; a son, Richard Chatfield Cressey; at home; three daughters. Mrs. David Bowler of Swarthmore Pa., Mrs. Bradford Seasholes of Newton Mass., and Mrs. Harris Webster of Lansing, Mich.; a brother, Prof. Paul F. Cressey of Norton, Mass., and six grandchildren.

Private services, arranged by the Garfield Funeral Home, and burial will be in Granby, Conn. There will be no local services. A memorial service will be at University's Hendricks Chapel. The Rev. Charles C. Noble, dean of the chapel, and the Rev. Scott Byers, associate pastor at Park Central Presbyterian Church, will officiate. Syracuse University Chancellor William P. Tolley will deliver the eulogy. Contributions may be made to the Syracuse World Affairs Council.
