Support for Ellie, Lana and Rocky

On Monday, October 14, 2024, Lieutenant Eloilda “Ellie” Padilla Shea was murdered by her estranged husband. Ellie is, and was, the most kind and caring person to ever grace your presence. If you only had the chance to meet her one time, she made an impression. She either had you laughing hard enough that you’d forever remember her jokes, or she showered you with kindness.

Ellie has two beautiful little girls, Lana, age 7, and Raquel “Rocky,” age 2. Family and friends will be caring and providing for Lana and Rocky during the most devastating time in their life. So any amount of kindness that can be shown to the family will be greatly appreciated. Your donation will go towards anything the family needs during this time. At this time, Lana and Rocky are currently in the care Ellie's aunt, Catherine Denisac (titi Cathy) and will be providing for them. We have set up accounts so Ellie's friends, Abby Hilley and Kendall Disler can help with the financial situation for the girls currently and for future financial decisions.

Please keep the family in your prayers as they mourn and navigate the grief of this situation.

Ellie believed in God. I hope you can envision Ellie in the happiest place, with God at her side and her beautiful, dimpled smile gracing everyone in Heaven.
