Ellen Rose Wadan Fritz

June 24, 2024 | 20 comments

Ellen Rose Wadan Fritz was a caring wife, mother, daughter-in-law, sister, niece, and friend. She left this world tragically and unexpectedly on June 10th, 2024 at the age of 36.

Ellen was born to Zenaida Wadan and Lezaro Waden on October 25, 1987. After graduating high school she graduated from the Technological Institute of the Philippines with a BS in Electronics and Communications Engineering. After arriving in the United States, she worked at Duratech as a Quality Assurance Technician.

Ellen knew the Lord and lived a life that reflected His goodness, love, and joy. Ellen deeply cherished her daughter Solana. Ellen loved spending time with her family. She enjoyed cooking special Filipino meals playing games, catching fish, and having a tasty fish fry.  She had an infectious laugh and a bright smile. Ellen cared deeply for all those around her. Ellen didn’t worry about the little things as long as she had God and family, she had it all. The memories we have of Ellen will forever be cherished.

Ellen is survived by her daughter Solana, sisters Zhy Anganangan, Cheril Wadan, Roda Wadan, brothers, Steve Wadan  and Jun Wadan, Aunt and Uncle Jeck and Cecil Bonavidez, and relatives, Aiza Cajes Scott, Robyne, Hannah, Jacob, Courtney, Roman, and Dean Fritz, and many nieces and nephews and friends.

A Celebration of Life Service is scheduled for Saturday, June 29th, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at First Free Church, 123 Mason Street, Onalaska, WI.  Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service.  Coulee Region Cremation Group and Funeral Home is assisting the family.

An account has been established in Solana Fritz’s name.  Please consider making a donation to her in lieu of flowers or other gifts.

      God has a wonderful reason why He allow things to happen. I was so deeply saddened for the tragedy but then i am still praying that the murderer will come to realized what he has done and seek God’s forgiveness. God always give chances to all the sinners to change and seek Him.

    Dear sweet Ellen was born an angel. She brought her gifts to us. She taught us love, patience, kindness, laughter and gentleness. To me she was the picture of God’s perfection of a human being. She was so tiny but gave the biggest hugs to EVERYONE, and always the most beautiful smile. She will always stay with us. Our little sweet pea.❤️❤️❤️

    Proverbs 3: 5-6
    5 Trust the LORD with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding
    6 in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.

    Today, Robyne and I picked up our loving Ellen’s cremated remains. We can not express the pain in our broken hearts. We will miss you everyday. Our family will will take care of Solana. She will know the love of the Lord and family. We know Jesus welcomed you with open arms.

    We look forward to the day when we get to see your beautiful smile again.

    Scott, Robyne, Hannah, Jacob, Courtney, Dean, Roman and Solana (your precious sunshine)
