Ellen Harvelle was a retired hunter who ran a saloon called Harvelle's Roadhouse that her fellow hunters often visited. It was destroyed by demons in "All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 1", at which point she resumed hunting. Ellen hunted with and was married to Bill Harvelle prior to his death. She and Bill had a daughter named Jo, who later became her hunting partner. In an alternate timeline, she married Bobby Singer. Ellen sacrificed her own life in Abandon All Hope... during a failed mission to kill Lucifer.
