Elizabeth "Ellen" Eigenbrod

In Loving Memory Elizabeth “Ellen” Eigenbrod, September 3, 1958 - March 16, 2025 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth “Ellen” Eigenbrod, who left us on March 16, 2025. She was 66 years old. Ellen was born on September 3, 1958 in Charlottesville, Virginia and was the cherished daughter of Bonnie and Ed Sandridge. She is survived by her husband, Michael Eigenbrod of Mason City, Illinois, daughter, Elizabeth Sampson of Kemah, Texas, Son, John Eigenbrod, of Lincoln, Illinois, and sister, Mary Dzuro of The Villages, Florida, who will always treasure her memory. Throughout her life, Ellen exemplified her values of kindness and faith, touching the lives of so many. Ellen held strong in her faith until the end, completing the Walk to Emmaus in 1991. She found joy in singing in the church choir, playing handbells in the church bell choir, crocheting, reading and traveling with her husband, Michael Eigenbrod. Ellen was a member of the Mason City United Methodist Church and was actively involved in church leadership and in the Euterpians. Ellen’s greatest accomplishment was being the loving grandmother of Kaleb Eigenbrod (10) of Lincoln, Illinois, Aiden Sampson (9) of Kemah, Texas, Kodi Eigenbrod (8) of Lincoln, Illinois and Kolt Eigenbrod (4) of Lincoln, Illinois. Ellen loved playing board games, such as Yahtzee and John Deere-oply with her grandbabies. She also loved cheering her grandkids on at their various sporting, 4-H, and taekwondo events. Cremation rites have been accorded and a funeral service will be held on March 19, 2025 at 10:30 am at the Mason City United Methodist Church, with visitation beginning at 9:30 AM until the time of service.
