Theresa Eileen Ello

Theresa Eileen Ello, 62, entered into rest on Friday, December 6, 2024. 

Theresa was born on October 12, 1962, in St. Louis, Missouri. A loving mother and doting grandmother, Theresa cherished every moment spent with her four children and twelve grandchildren, always eager to create lasting memories with them. Her love for her family knew no bounds. Theresa was also a passionate animal lover, especially fond of her beloved dogs, who were an important part of her life. A true social butterfly, Theresa never met a stranger; her warmth, kindness, and infectious spirit made her a friend to everyone she encountered. She had a unique gift for connecting with people, and no one could resist her magnetic personality. To all who knew her, Theresa was not just a friend – she was everybody's best friend. She will be deeply missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her. 

Her father, Steve Ello, preceded her in death. 

Her memory will forever be treasured by her children, Phillip Atchison (Brittany), Elaine Atchison, Cindy Simons (Slate), and Ashlee Laneman (Brian); twelve amazing grandchildren that she was very proud of, Augie, Sophia, Paxton, Payton, Lela, Milah, Clara, Aubree, PJ, Bentlee, Slaton Brooks, and Avaleigh Marie; mother, Thelma Ello; brothers, Darrel Ello (Rae), Steven Ello (Kelli) and many other loving family members and friends.
