On New Year’s Eve 2021, Elladora Rosalia Anastacia Taylor, “Ellie,” passed away suddenly at the age of 19 at her home in Tucson. Ellie was born on November 17, 2002, also at her home. Ellie lived for her cats, Clay and Peach. She was extremely passionate about her style and enjoyed spending time thrifting to find unique articles of clothing. She loved shoes, and styling and dying her hair. She adored getting and giving tattoos, and she drew/designed many of them herself. She was a concert and music fanatic, going to tons of concerts in her life. She was enthralled by butterflies and art, her room covered in all types of eclectic art. She could commonly be found taking deep, meaningful photos and videos which she enjoyed sharing. Ellie was an incredibly caring, loving, and loyal friend. A friendship with her instantly made you a part of her heart. Ellie is survived by her parents, Tim (Karyn Faust) Taylor and Jenny (Ken) Hosack, her siblings: Isabela Taylor of San Diego, CA, William Taylor of Tucson, AZ, Emerson Taylor of Tucson, AZ, Talie (Bobby) Marquez of Absarokee, MT, Megan (Carlos Salazar) Hosack of Tucson, AZ, and Bryan Hosack of Tucson, AZ. She is also survived by her maternal grandparents, David Skeens, Julie Webb, and Mark Webb. Several aunts and uncles: Terry (Tammy) Taylor, Keith (Sandi) Hosack, Stacie (Alan) Knox, Katie (Brandon) Gamble, Laura (Erin) Sullivan, Joe Webb and girlfriend Brittany Gee, Mike Webb, Jimmy (Crista Nalley) Skeens, and Stephanie Skeens. Ellie was a loving aunt to Julian and Viviana Salazar. She has several cousins: Montanah (Peach) Terry, Zachary (Shanii Pebeahsy-Anderson) Taylor, Tiffany (Chris Smith) Mannikko, Alexis (Ron) Griffiths, Korey (Sarah) Hosack, Garrett Hosack, Kendra (Alvin) Palmer, Allison, Violet, Abbie, Lulu, and Layne Knox, Jakob, Noah, Owen, Hazel, and Clara Gamble, and Ryan and Evan Sullivan, many loving great-aunts, including Polly Barack and great-great aunt Nene Fickle, and other loving family across the US, including Chris (Cathy) Barack, and Heidi Barack. Ellie was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, David and Nancy Taylor, and cousin, Lucas Gamble. Elladora was buried in a private family burial. A time for family and friends to gather together to celebrate Ellie’s life will be scheduled at a later date. “If I should go before the rest of you Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone, Nor when I’m gone speak in a Sunday voice But be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, Parting is hell, But life goes on, So sing as well.” – Joyce Grenfell “Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there; I did not die.” – Mary Elizabeth Frye
