In Memory
Ellyn Louise (Bates) Lombardi
December 12, 1989 ~ May 13, 2024 (age 34)
Ellyn Louise Lombardi, aged 34, of Granger, IN, passed away surrounded by love on May 13, 2024. Born to Randy and the late Barb Bates on December 12, 1989, in South Bend, IN, Ellyn's life was a testament to the power of kindness and the beauty of a soul that genuinely cared.
Ellyn's loving spirit lives on through her devoted husband, Justin Lombardi, and their precious daughters, Corrina, and Layla, who will forever treasure their mother's unconditional love for nature, kayaking and camping trips. She will be deeply missed by her father, Randy (Kim) Bates; her sisters, Erin (Michael) Eitler and Nicole (Noel) Ryan; brothers, Kyle (Maddie) Bates and Ryan Sokolowski; and her cherished bonus grandmother, Wanda Hudnall.
As we bid farewell to Ellyn, we reflect on a life lived with boundless love and the gentle touch she left on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of warmth and compassion will endure as a guiding light for her family, who were the center of her vast and generous heart.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., at Osceola Grace Church, 58343 South Apple Road, Osceola, IN 46561.
