Event Description

Ellie Helton, a vibrant, loving 14-year old, passed away on July 16, 2014 as a result of a ruptured brain aneurysm. Ellie loved God, her family and friends, superheroes, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and pizza. She was a unique spirit who loved life, was accepting of others and persevered in everything she tried. Ellie danced like no one was watching and sang like no one was listening.

We hope her legacy is one of encouragement to always be yourself and let that shine through: eat a Reese’s cup every now and then, feel like a superhero and wear pink somewhere you wouldn’t expect to see it. We love and miss her every day and were blessed to have had her in our lives.
