Lienkaemper Funeral Chapel-Ontario
Sylvia Marie Ellis
March 7th, 1936 - March 27th, 2025
Sylvia Marie Ellis, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at the age of 89. Sylvia was born on March 7, 1936, in Bellflower, California, to Erling and Helen (Raver) Lund. Raised during the Great Depression, she grew into a resilient, kind, and resourceful woman who excelled academically, graduating as valedictorian from both high school and college.
Sylvia and her husband, Fred, devoted their lives to ministry, including over six years as
missionaries in Pakistan, where they taught English and Bible. Sylvia also served her
community, volunteering with the local food bank and helping with the annual Thanksgiving dinner in Vale, Oregon. She was known for her creativity, passion for gardening, and tireless work ethic.
Sylvia is survived by her husband, Fred Ellis; children Stephen (Pattie), Timothy, David, and Daniel (Lynelle); four grandchildren, Dawn, Garret, Lauren, and Ashton; and her brother, Kenneth Lund (Carmen).
Her life was one of quiet service and devotion, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Sylvia’s family takes comfort in the promise of the resurrection: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
