Ellie Jane Murray
May 16, 2013 - August 31, 2014
Our sweet angel, Ellie Jane Murray,
returned to her Heavenly Father on Sunday, Aug. 31, after 15 months of a
beautiful but challenging life. She was
born May 16, 2013, in American Fork, UT, to Scott Aaron and Rachel Hale Murray.
Diagnosed with Trisomy 4p, a rare
chromosomal disorder, Ellie faced a life of physical challenges, but she fought
fiercely to overcome her trials and amazed all with what she accomplished. She had a happy disposition, big smiles and a
spirit that radiated and put life in perspective for those close to her. People who interacted with Ellie wanted to be
better because of knowing her and feeling her spirit. She was loved deeply by her brothers and
sister, her parents, grandparents and extended family members. Her mother,
father, and Grandma Nancy considered it a privilege and blessing to provide her
with around-the-clock care throughout her life.
The family thanks the many doctors,
nurses and healthcare workers who helped Ellie, particularly Primary Children’s
Hospital, Dr. Bradley Anderson’s office and Kids on the Move.
Survivors include her parents; her
siblings Mason, Brynn and Miles; Grandparents Michael and Linda Murray
(Woodland Hills) and Val and Nancy Hale (Orem); Great-grandparents Wallace and
Bonnie Allred (Orem) and Shirlee Thompson (Salt Lake City); and many loving
aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Friends and family may call at a
viewing on Friday, Sept. 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Sharon Stake Center,
545 South 800 East, in Orem. A graveside
service will be held Saturday, Sept. 6, at 10:30 a.m. at the Orem City
Cemetery.

Beautifully written.
I'm so sorry to hear. Will be thinking about your family.
I agree with Stacie. Such an impact your little Ellie had in her short 15 months of life
I was just so heartbroken when I heard. Though you hardly know us, we speak of Ellie often. Maaike often asks about where her machines went when her trach came out and we speak of your sweet Ellie. She will always be a part if our family's history. Are prayers are with you! I could not make it to the viewing but wanted to let you know if our love and support.
