  1. To all of the Degutis family. May your loving memories of Ellie bring some comfort during this sad time. I’m keeping you all in my prayers.

  2. I’m so sorry 😔 She will be Greatly missed. May she R.I.P and fish on in heavenly Waters with all whom loveed her. She was an angel in life and will be in her passing. Our condolences and prayers are with you. 🙏

  3. In the OR and out, Ellie was always a beacon of light and happiness. She worked hard, had a great sense of humor, and was a great friend. As I recall, she was hiking with some friends and broke her ankle. She was rescued in a wheelbarrow- she (after she healed) loved that.
