Kami Lyn Ellenz , March 14, 1967 — April 29, 2019

Kami Lyn Ellenz passed away quietly on Monday, April 29, 2019 after a 4-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was born on March 14, 1967 in Spokane, Washington to Ed and Shirley Ellenz. She is also survived by her brother, Kent and his wife, Becky; her beloved nieces, Ashley and Kelsey; cousins and many devoted friends who took care of her during her illness.

She graduated from Shadle Park High School in 1985 and moved to Portland, Oregon to attend Columbia Christian College, where she stayed after graduation. She was as an accountant her entire career, first in property management and later for a distinguished Portland family business, where she embraced working with the family foundation and the charitable organizations it helped sponsor. A sports fanatic – basketball and baseball were her favorites – Kami’s car radio was always tuned to sports talk.

Kami secretly loved everyone’s dog; she gave money to animal rescue organizations and hopes that you will, too. (www. thepongofund.org or wildcatridgesanctuary.org) She came to Spokane often to spend time with family and friends.

Kami was fortunate to be able to vacation with friends as well as her family and was happiest on the beach in Cancun, where she was able to return for one last trip in February. In cards to family or friends, Kami ended her messages with three words she wanted them never to forget. Until you see her again, remember.

. . You Are Loved.
