Family of Corby girl, 13, pay tribute to ‘amazing, strong-willed, feisty’ Ella
The family of a 13-year-old girl who died following an incident in Corby have written a touching tribute to her.
Ella Walden died on Tuesday, April 7, following an incident in the town’s Elizabeth Street, involving an e-bike.
She was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later.
Now, her family have released a tribute to her, saying: “Our lives will never be complete again after losing our beautiful Ella.
“She was the most amazing, strong-willed, feisty girl, with the most precious smile.
“Ella had an infectious personality and could light up even the emptiest room. She made a lasting impression on everyone she met, and you could hear her before you saw her, so life is so quiet without her.
“As a family, we were the lucky ones to have her as ours, but she has been taken from us far too soon.
“Ella was incredibly loyal and always stood up for what she believed in. She had a kind heart and was always there for anyone who was struggling.
“Ella loved being in the limelight and truly excelled in drama – she was never happier than when she was performing. She lived life to the fullest.
“To the world she was Ella, but to us she was the world. Life will forever have an empty space without her, but her memory will live on with us all forever.”
Detectives from Northamptonshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit have arrested a man in connection with the incident.
