It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Eleanor “Ellie” Van Guilder on Nov. 9, 2024. She was a cherished wife, sister, mother, grandmother, teacher, and friend, whose presence illuminated every room and whose love touched the hearts of all who knew her. Ellie left a profound legacy, one built on love, compassion, and an unshakeable belief in family.
Preceded in death by husband, Ronald. Survived by children Kyle Van Guilder and Leah (Michael) Van Guilder Berkland and grandchildren Zilya Van Guilder and Peyton, Whitten and Yanna Berkland and sister Kathie (Bryce) Erickson.
There will be a Celebration of Life on December 3. Please email Leah.vanberk@gmail.com for details. Arrangements by Honsa Family Funeral Home, White Bear Lake.
