Paying Tribute to Jeanette Ellingson and Family


Jeanette Darlene Ellingson was taken from us on August 8th, 2019 when she was murdered in her Fountain home in Colorado.

Jeanette is survived by her daughter, Aniya (6 years old) ; her son, Adrian (3 years old) ; her parents, Quintin and Stephanie Ellingson ; her brother John Isaac Ellingson ; her sister, Rebeque Ellingson. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Jeanette's mother Stephanie is a collegue of mine and many others at Midfirst Bank Loan Operations here in Oklahoma. We have learned that she and her husband now have custody of both their grandchildren and will be going from being empty nesters to now raising these two beautiful innocent children. When they come back to Oklahoma, the children will have nothing but the clothes on their backs. This campaign and 100% of all the proceeds raised will go directly to Stephanie, her husband and those babies for anything they might need. Beginning with the baisics, clothes, shoes, books, toys, food ect..

My heart goes out to this family and I cannot even begin to imagine how they must feel during this difficult time. I have not and WILL NOT lose faith in humanity and I know that we can all come together to help this family in need. Every last dollar raised will most certainly help this family start their healing process by relieving the financial burdens this tragedy has transpired.

There is no doubt that our world is hurting. Between terrorist attacks, shootings and other acts of violence, it can sometimes seem as if there is no hope anymore. Many of us have adopted that mindset, and let me tell you, its a dangerous way to think. It may not seem like it at the moment, but there is still hope in our world. It starts now.

UPDATE: 8-22-19
Recently we found out that Stephanie has a pool that will require fencing be put up before DHS approves their home as being “child safe” This can cost upwards of $5,000 and it’s our focus to help raise as much as possible to make this happen so these babies can come home.
