Ellie was born February 1, 2006 in St. Cloud to Brandon and Jessica (Wittstruck) Klukken. She enjoyed spending time with her sisters, Amber and Lauren, playing barbies, going to Starbucks and just hanging out at the mall. Ellie loved animals, especially her two cats, fish, and dog. She enjoyed longboarding, hanging out with friends, camping, and fishing. Ellie was kind, caring, generous, loving, beautiful, always gave people the benefit of doubt, and saw the good in everyone and everything. Ellie graduated from Sartell High School in 2024 and planned to join the Coast Guard in February, with plans of being an underwater mechanic or Marine Biologist. Ellie worked in customer service and sales at the Boot Barn and volunteered at the Tri County Humane Society.
