In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Ella Troup, a young mother from Melbourne, Australia, has passed away just six weeks after receiving a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Her untimely death occurred during an operation to combat the disease, leaving behind her husband, Ben, and their two precious children, Leo (aged three) and Ollie (aged one).
A Quiet Battle
Ella’s battle with cancer remained largely hidden from those around her. Very few people knew that she had been grappling with stage 4 cancer until her unexpected passing during a medical procedure. The shock and grief now engulf her family as they face their first Christmas without their beloved mom.
Rallying Support
In the wake of this devastating loss, Ella’s friends, family, and colleagues at GlobeWest, where she worked as a product manager, have come together to support the bereaved family. A GoFundMe campaign aims to raise AU $150,000 (approximately £83,000) to provide Ben and their boys with much-needed assistance during their time of grief.
A Tribute to Sunshine
Ella’s vibrant spirit touched many lives. Her local coffee shop, Down The Street, penned a heartfelt tribute, describing her as “sunshine personified.” Despite the decades that have passed since they first knew each other, Ella’s impact remained a joy to follow from afar. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved her.
