Obituary for Ellie Elaine Pavelka

Ellie Elaine Pavelka, aged 1 year and 6 months old, of Brasstown, gained her angel wings on Friday, October 30, 2026.

Born in Union County, Georgia, to Jordan Pavelka and Haley Ware, Ellie was already showing the world how remarkably smart she was. Though her time here was far too short, she lived it with absolute joy and boundless curiosity. Ellie was a professional explorer who loved getting into everything. Whether she was diving headfirst into a pile of cozy blankets, playing an enthusiastic game of peek-a-boo, or flashing her proudest high-fives, she kept everyone smiling.

Music and movement were her favorite things; she loved to eat, dance, and sing to her heart's content. Outside, she adored going for long walks, cruising in her wagon, and showering her dog, Boogie, with slobbery kisses. Life with her big sister, Paisley, was an everyday adventure, and Ellie was deeply, universally loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is welcomed into heaven by her uncle, Brandon Pavelka; and her grandmother, Pamela Pavelka.

Ellie leaves behind a family whose hearts are forever changed, including her devoted parents, Jordan Pavelka and Haley Ware; her adoring sister, Paisley Pavelka; her aunt, Molly Price; her uncles, Duke Price and Gage Ware; her cousin, Nova Price; her grandfather, Dave Pavelka; and her grandmother, Elaine Morgan, along with many extended family members from Robbinsville, Andrews, Murphy and Hiawassee and friends who loved her dearly.

The family will receive friends to remember and celebrate Ellie's sweet life from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Friday, November 6, 2026, at the Townson-Rose Funeral Home Chapel in Murphy.

Townson-Rose Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements.
