Ellen Marie Braden

Ellen Marie Braden, On August 16th, our special little Ellie monster was called for a higher purpose. To have been on this earth for such a short time, she touched an incredible amount of lives. No matter the weather, she always wore the widest sprinkle teeth smile, and her joy was infectious. Everyone that met her loved her instantly, and she loved them back equally as much. She had a vivacious energy that could light up any room no matter the mood. She was fearless and creative, constantly learning from new challenges. May we all embody your bright spirit, little Ellie. Our perfect little sour patch kid will be sorely missed, but forever loved and remembered. She is survived by her parents, Scott Austin Shell and Kara Ellen Braden; sisters, Annabella Zoey Shell, and Isabella Marie Womack; grandparents, Ruth Ellen and D.J. Womack, Richie Dean Braden, Tenna and Barney Bivens; great grandparents, John and Glenda Kinlaw, Geraldine Estrada, Melba Mae Kay; great-great-grandparent, Annabelle Webb; step parents, Shane Newman Hussey and Ashley Mara Witick.
