Ella Nino was born April 8, 2019, in Marshalltown, Iowa, to parents Sonny Nino and Maxsery Cerda. From the moment she was born she was a fighter and had family and friends who were there to support her all the way. She was loved by all and had her older sister who was her protector. In the words of her own family and friends of the family they would say that she is the strongest person that they had ever known. Although her time was brief on this earth she enjoyed being held and cuddled as well as listening to music.

Left to adore and cherish her memory are her parents Sonny Nino and Maxsery Cerda; her sister Sophie Nino; grandparents Maria Nino, Amador Nino and Nohemi Cerda; her great grandma Maria Cerda; her godparents, Nancy and Alexandro Ortiz; her aunts and uncles, Guadalupe Nino, Brian Nino, Kare Ramirez, Saray Cerda and Majetzy Ramirez.

In death, she rejoins her sibling Eden Nino; great grandparents: Natividad Villanueva, Hector Cerda, Wensceslao Nino, Teresa Tovar and Jesus Tovar.
