Eliette Jacqueline "Ellie" Hunter

Eliette "Ellie" Jacqueline Hunter, 3 years old, passed away Friday, January 9, 2026,

in Dallas, TX, after a gallant battle against leukemia. Ellie was born July 8, 2022,

to John and Jacqueline Hunter, big brother Frank, and big sisters Evangeline and

Charlotte.

Born with a radiant spirit that only shined brighter through her diagnosis, Ellie

brought endless joy and love to everyone around her. She loved to dance and sing,

turning her living room or hospital room into the greatest of dance floors and

surprising so many with her extensive playlist that covered so many decades and

genres. Her laughter as she danced and played evoked feelings of pure happiness.

She delighted in stroller rides, exploring the neighborhood or hospital halls with

wonder and curiosity. Playing with her beloved sisters was her greatest joy, sharing

giggles, dance moves, and love. She adored endless cuddles from her parents and

hugs from her big brother. She had a special fondness for McDonald's, Buc-ees,

blind boxes, Jersey Boys, Stitch, all things from The Nightmare Before Christmas,

and her beloved boobie rags. Most importantly, Ellie truly lived life to the fullest,

always finding joy even on the hardest of days.

Though her time with us was far too short, her spunk, joyful heart, and fierce spirit

will forever remain in our memories. Rest peacefully, sweet Ellie. You will forever

be in our hearts, and your legacy is only just beginning.

Ellie is survived by her parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins,

extended family, and countless friends, all of whom loved her dearly.
