Ellalynn Ada Schiek, born on Nov. 26, 2006, was granted her angel wings unexpectedly on Monday, Aug. 1, 2016. Ella's short, but memorable life has touched many but those who were touched by her understand that the quality of her existence far exceeded the quantity of time in which she lived.
Her gentle soul and sparkling smile brought joy to all she encountered. In her nine short years with us, every day was a blessing from God.
Ella had an infectious and boundless love for the Lord, which she frequently expressed by singing praise music she loved so dearly.
Her caring, nurturing and playful spirit were on brilliant display every moment she spent with her nieces and nephews.
Ella's love of crafts and constructing anything she could think of from paper or cardboard into dresses, dolls and even shoes gave credence to her love of creativity and expression. Her unique and joyful personality was inviting to all her friends at Valley Christian School. Ella loved to dance and was so happy to have her sisters Brittany and Abby as her coaches at school. Her love of school was infectious as she couldn't wait for the new school year to start again. Ella loved her teachers, friends and classmates at Valley Christian.
Ella became an Aunt at an early age. When Mom explained to her that she was now an Aunt, Ella replied with "I don't want to be an ant. . .I want to be a Lady Bug!" Her beloved brothers Wes and Abe had special nicknames for the Lady Bug when she came into the growing Schiek family calling her "Bean" and "Bean Bean Boogie"! Ella has been the family's Little Bean ever since.
With Ella's passing we want to remind others that her life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss her every day, especially her wonderful smile, she will forever remain in our hearts. It has been a joy, blessing and privilege to be her parents.
Ella is survived by her loving parents James and Stacey (Ginnow) Schiek, her siblings James Jr. "JJ" (Melissa) Schiek, Analyise (Ryan) Jezwinski, Brittany (Adam) Grosskopf, Abigail Schiek, Wesley Schiek, Abraham Schiek and Ava Schiek. Grandparents James M. and Margaret (Peg) Schiek, Marilyn J. Ginnow, and William and Evangeline Jenkins. Ella is also survived by many Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews and cousins throughout Wisc. and the U.S. Ella is preceded in death by James E. Ginnow, Grandfather.
