Ellen Marie Champagne, born on November 30, 1988, brought light and laughter into the lives of everyone she encountered. Tragically, she passed away on May 27, 2025, in Taylor, Michigan, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of love that will forever resonate in the hearts of her family and friends.
A graduate of Clinton High School in 2006, Ellen was a spirited cheerleader who embraced the joys of youth with enthusiasm and grace. Her vibrant personality drew people in; she had a unique way of making anyone feel valued, celebrated, and loved.
Ellen's life was filled with the precious roles she held as a mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She is survived by her beloved children, Vanessa, Emiliano, Gabriella, and Julian, who will carry forward the spirit of their mother's love and laughter. She also delighted in her role as a grandmother to Kamari, whose bright smile truly reflected the joy Ellen brought to life.
Ellen leaves behind her devoted mother, Sherry, and her sisters, Allison and Rachel, who will remember her for her kindness, charm, and close-knit family ties. Together, they will cherish the countless memories made over the years, from family gatherings to quiet moments spent sharing stories and laughter. Their hearts ache at the loss, but they find solace in knowing that Ellen will always be a part of their lives in spirit.
Her beloved pet, Girl Dog, too, will feel the absence of Ellen, as they shared a bond that could only be described as special. Ellen’s warmth and affection extended not just to her human family but to all creatures great and small, embodying a love that is truly encompassing.
Ellen Marie Champagne may have departed this world too soon, but the impact she made and the love she shared will continue to shine brightly in our memories. As we gather to celebrate her remarkable life, we find comfort in knowing that her spirit will forever reside in our hearts.
