Eleanor Bean Bushnell

Eleanor Bean Bushnell - (Ellie, Ellie Belly, Sunshine, Chicken Banana, Ellie Bean, Booty Head) was born January 29th, 2026, to her loving parents Braden and Madison. Because Eleanor was eager to meet her Mommy, Daddy, and big sister Ottie Jo, she entered the world 6 weeks early.

On Valentine’s Day 2026, Eleanor was released from the NICU in Austin, which provided the sweetest gift to her family.

Ellie’s days were filled with love and cuddles. She enjoyed watching her dancing fruit, Lakers’ basketball, seeing her dad pacing during the game, and most of all being in her mommy’s arms.

Ellie loved playing with her bumblebee, her lion, and her big sister. Favorite pastimes included naps with mommy and late-night chats with daddy.

On May 15, 2026, Eleanor was welcomed into Heaven, met by Jesus’ loving arms, her namesake Kobe Bean Bryant, and many loved ones who went before her.
