Ellie Marie Schisler

Ellie Marie Schisler, who was born at 8:58 a.m. May 21, 2007, at Boone Hospital Center, has no reason to cry.
Besides her two loving parents, Julie and Bill Schisler, she has an older sister to attend to her every need.
Julie Schisler, a kindergarten teacher at Cedar Ridge Elementary School, said her 3-year-old daughter loves to help with her new sister.
“If Ellie is crying, Madison wants to give her a pacifier,” she said.
Madison was excited to hold the 6-pound, 4.9-ounce baby at the hospital.
“Once Ellie started to wiggle, she told me, ‘You take her,’” Julie Schisler said.
Julie Schisler’s husband, Bill, works as a technician at Boone Hospital Center. He and his wife chose their second daughter’s name in memory of her great-grandmothers, Mary and Ellen.
