Honoring Estella: Assist Her Family's Journey
Donation protected
We are utterly devastated and heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of Estella Ann. Estella left us on June 10th, 2024. She was 22 years old. Estella wisely and quickly called 911 after having difficulty breathing, which was a result of the asthma she had struggled with throughout her life. She was without oxygen for an extended period of time, and eventually left this life after a valiant week long fight in the ICU. She passed while surrounded by her loving family and friends.
She was loved, cherished, and admired by many for her charitable spirit, compassionate heart, and truly kind soul. Fulfilling her wishes for organ donation, she was able to save the lives of complete strangers! Those who have been blessed by Estella’s selfless gift, as well as all who know and love each of the recipients, will be forever changed for the better because of her incredibly generous choice to be a full donor, which is rare.
Though it brings her loved ones some comfort knowing others will not have to suffer as they have suffered, the loss has unavoidably left a huge hole in many hearts. In these times of mourning, we are coming together to celebrate her life, and offer a place (as has been asked for and requested) to express condolences and love by being allowed to help with some costs for the family related to when Estella was in the ICU, and of course, funeral expenses.
In order to provide a simple way to offer love and support, in possibly the only way some can at this time, we have created this account. A place where those who love Estella can express their sympathies and share in their grief.
We hope with all our hearts that Estella’s memory is cherished forever, and people remember her for the wonderful acts of kindness and generosity she enacted throughout her life! She always thought of others, until the very end. Her life was one full of love!
