Ella Ann Marie Suszka

Ella Ann Marie Suszka, age 14, of Ripon, WI passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, November 30, 2024 at home.

Ella was born on March 21, 2010 in Loveland, CO, daughter of Sarah (Sutula) Marx and Dustin Suszka. She moved to Ripon when she was four and attended Ripon schools. She was very involved in dance and cheerleading, and played volleyball in middle school. Music was her passion. She loved all styles of music, but her favorite artists were Pierce the Veil and Drake, and she enjoyed listening to them on vinyl records. She cherished going to concerts with her aunt Leah every year. Ella loved traveling, especially back to the mountains of Colorado, where she felt most at home with her family. She would never say no to a good rollercoaster, loving that little adrenaline rush. Ella was funny, she was quirky, she loved learning and sharing random new facts. She was very intelligent and was always on the honor roll in school. Ella had a huge heart, always caring for those who needed caring for. She was a light in her family and friends’ life. Ella will be missed immensely and will never be forgotten.
