Ella Mae Baumer Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Ella Mae Baumer, 12, of Franklin, TN, entered Heaven on Sunday, June 26, 2022. Ella was born August 10, 2009, in Lancaster, PA, to Michael Gregory and Elizabeth Courtney (Magnauck) Baumer. Ella Bee was a unique soul. Everyone who knew her described her as ’sweet’ and that is who she was at her core … but she was so much more. She was filled with love, hilariously witty, compassionate, insightful, determined (and maybe a lot stubborn), selfless beyond reason, creative, artistic, and the most loyal friend to those she loved. She didn’t say a lot but when she did speak, everyone listened. She was an analyzer and an observer. She loved reading, gymnastics, crafting, solving riddles and puzzles, cooking, and, above all else, creating beauty in the world through her art and her actions. She loved fiercely and was devoted to family and friends. She saw value and beauty in every living thing. Unfortunately, in November 2019, Ella was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left femur. She spent years fighting through countless chemotherapies, medical interventions and surgeries but never lost sight of who she was at her core. She stayed sweet, kept her humor, and always saw the beauty around her. Throughout her journey, she raised money to donate to fund osteosarcoma research and support families battling the disease. On June 26th, 2022, all of the pain and the trauma stopped. She has been made whole and is alive and well in Heaven while every single one of her tumors is dead, dead, dead. She won. Ella Bee is survived by her parents, Michael Gregory and Elizabeth Courtney Baumer; brother, Benjamin Curtis Baumer; maternal grandparents, Duane and Leslie Magnauck; paternal grandparents, Sandra and Joseph Emond, and William and Tina Baumer; maternal great-grandparents, Shirley Ballew, Billie Sue Marsh and Francis Marsh; and numerous aunts, uncles and extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Kathy Dawn Magnauck; maternal great-grandfather, Curtis Ballew; paternal great-grandmother, Norma Lechner; and paternal great-uncle, Curt Musser. The family would love if you would consider donating to one of the following non-profits in lieu of flowers. As you all are aware, Ella was very dedicated to raising money to fund osteosarcoma research and support osteosarcoma families. It would mean so incredibly much to her if you would donate in her honor to one of the organizations that she cared so deeply about. Below are two of our favorites, a brief description and a link to donate. MIB AGENTS: This is an osteosarcoma specific organization that is committed to Make It Better (MIB) for children with osteosarcoma and their families. They do this through funding research, supporting families and siblings, advocating for patients, educating through their Osteobites podcast, setting up prayer agents and so much more. We have set up a family funds page (see link) to donate directly in Ella's memory. MIB Agents will put 80% of donations directly towards funding research and the remaining 20% will go to supporting MIB Agent programs and operations. www.mibagents.org/family-funds/ella Project Joy and Hope: This organization is deeply personal to us. They are a non-profit that provides housing for severely ill children who are receiving longer term medical treatment at the Texas Medical Center. The family lived at Project Joy and Hope for nearly 8 months while Ella received treatment in Houston. https://joyandhope.org/donate/ Ella’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel, 918-333-7665, 4201 Nowata Rd, Bartlesville, on Thursday, July 7 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, July 8, at Ethel Reece Cemetery in Barnsdall.
