With broken hearts and boundless love, we announce the passing of our precious daughter, Ellie May Deemer, was born in the arms of Jesus on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at OSU Medical Center in Columbus.

Though she never took a breath in this world, Ellie’s presence filled our lives with hope, joy, and unconditional love. She was deeply wanted, endlessly loved, and will forever be remembered as a beautiful blessing who changed our hearts forever.

We find comfort in knowing that Ellie May is resting perfectly healed in heaven, wrapped in God’s everlasting love. Though her time on earth was brief, her impact was eternal.
