Noëlle Jean Marie "Ëllie" Elam

Noëlle Jean Marie Elam, precious daughter of Simon and Shannon Elam and beloved baby sister of Jace and Atlas, left this world to play in the stars on May 2, 2025. Born January 21, 2025, Ëllie spent her brief time on earth knowing only love and happiness. She enjoyed listening to the soft sounds of nature, watching her brothers play, and being held close by her parents and grandparents. She made life brighter for everyone around her. Her sweet smile could turn around the worst of days, and to meet Ëllie was to love her. We will see her in strawberry fields, rainbows, and the brightest stars in the sky. Ëllie's time with us has left a mark that can never be forgotten.

In addition to her parents and brothers, Ëllie is survived by an immense extended and blended family. She is missed by her Grandparents, Josh (Emily) Elam, Debbie (David) Fain, and Jen Royer (Cory Schneider) and Great-Grandparents, Jim and Barb Brenner, Carol Crosbie, Rick Elam, and Ron and Sherrie Royer. She will be forever loved by Aunts and Uncles Tonii Young (Lucas Banton), Riley Elam, Kate Elam, and Lydia Royer; Bonus Aunts and Uncles; Cousins; and too many extended close family members to name.

Ëllie joins her grandfather, "Pop Pop" Brandon Royer, great-grandmother, Donna Elam, and Great Uncle Barry and Cousins Daniel and Matthew Riseley in the vast beyond.

A Celebration of Ëllie's life will be held at Trinity United Church of Christ located at 47 North Douglas Avenue in Belleville, Illinois on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 2:00 – 3:00 pm with funeral services and a meal to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family would be honored for contributions to be made to The Hemangioma and Vascular Birthmarks Foundation or directly to the family to assist during this most difficult time. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that take up the most room in our hearts and become the hardest things to let go.
