Ellie Berg, daughter of Carly and Josh Berg, died Sunday afternoon, November 19, 2023 in a tragic accident. The family and community are heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, funny, radiant, energetic, loving little girl, who has been described as a beautiful spirit and an old soul, who loved and cherished life. Everyone is in shock and there are no words to express this grief.
There will be a graveside funeral on Tuesday November 21st at 2pm at Mountain View Cemetery, 3016 Kalmia Ave, Boulder, CO 80301.
We invite parents to use their discretion in whether to bring children to what is likely to be a very emotional funeral.
