Obituary
Ellena Hazelynn Wastesicoot-Rondeau
May 5th 2008 – December 16th 2022.
It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce that our beautiful Princess Ellena passed away on Friday, December 16th, 2022, at The Children’s Hospital at 14 years of age. She will be deeply missed and remembered by her mom Cheryl, dad Steve, sisters Crystal, Cherisse, Ardell, Emily, Lenore, and Lindsay. Ellena will also be missed by her many family members, friends, teachers, peers, and her two favourite EA’s Erin and Darlene, as well as anyone else whose heart she so easily touched.
Ellena came to us on September 27th, 2009, after a lengthy hospital visit left her needing somewhere to call home. Over the years we’ve watched Ellena grow and flourish into the beautiful Princess she was. She overcame many hospital stays, surgeries, and daily challenges with a smile.
She was a proud community member of St. Andrews and attended St. Andrews Elementary School and Lockport School. Ellena loved school, her teachers, and making new friends.
Ellena had a passion for music like no other, her day began and ended with music. Some of her favourite groups were Kidz Bop, The Backstreet Boys, JoJo Siwa, and Keith Urban. Ellena enjoyed spending time on her tablet, playing with her L.O.L dolls, barbies, stuffies, unicorns, rainbows, JoJo bows, painting her nails, spending time with her family, and above all the colour purple. Ellena also loved animals, and growing up with our family dogs Ella, Harley, and Koda. She also enjoyed going to Cherisse’s house to play with her cats and any foster kittens and participating in animal rescue.
Ellena was a Princess through and through. She had all the Disney Princess dresses, along with a bow and shoes to match. Ellena attended and looked forward to The Royal Princess Ball and The Princess Tea party every year.
Ellena was an inspiration to us all and taught us that despite what you’re going through, to always have a smile on your face and to push through. Her funny sense of humour, charming personality, and big smile could light up anyone’s day.
Though Ellena’s time with us was short, she lived an incredible life, accomplishing more than any of us could ever hope to. Her zest for life was contagious and will be sorely missed.
We would like to thank Dr. Postl and Dr. Collison, Children’s Hospital staff and PICU/PSCU staff, Children’s Respiratory Team Variety Heart, Muscular Dystrophy Canada, SCCY, Children’s Wish Foundation, and The Awasis Agency.
In lieu of flowers, we ask donations to be made in Ellena’s name to the charities close to her heart – Tails of Freedom Rescue Inc., Muscular Dystrophy Canada, The Children’s Hospital.
Celebration of Ellena’s life will be held on Tuesday, December 27th, 2022 at 12:00pm at Eternal Grace Funerals.
