Ellie was an exceedingly kind, caring and vivacious young lady. We her parents had a fantastic relationship with her as did her older brother and cousins whom she was also remarkably close to.

Ellie was fun and a joy to be around but also very caring and this shone through in her love for her grandparents.

Ellie was immensely popular she had a wide group of friends; she hated it if anyone felt upset or excluded and was often described as the glue that kept everyone together.

From an early age Ellie had a huge love for animals, we would visit animal farms to hold chicks, rabbits and feed baby animals. Her passion then moved onto horses, and she would spend the summer months often just herself and her beloved pony Blackjack hacking over Wiltshire’s beautiful countryside.

Ellie was very much a perfectionist and put everything into anything she did whether it was her schoolwork or equine competitions on her pony. She had a wonderful life mapped out which was brutally taken away from her and us.
