It is with shattered hearts and profound sorrow that we share the passing of Ella Cahill—a beloved member of the UTSA Campus Recreation team and our dedicated Fitness Student Coordinator.
Ella was more than a colleague; she was a bright light in our community—an inspiration, a leader, a friend. Her passion for fitness was only matched by her commitment to helping others grow, thrive, and feel seen. Whether she was mentoring a new team member, leading a class with her trademark energy, or simply offering a kind word in the hallway, Ella brought warmth, strength, and authenticity to everything she did.
She was a pillar of our department and a role model to so many. Ella’s legacy will live on in the lives she touched, the programs she helped build, and the countless moments of joy she shared with us all.
Our hearts go out to Ella’s family, friends, and everyone who was blessed to know her. We will be sharing information about a memorial service and opportunities to honor her memory in the coming days.
Please know that grief resources are available for those who may need support during this time. We encourage you to reach out, take care of yourselves, and hold each other close.
Ella, thank you for everything. You will be deeply missed—and forever remembered.
With love and remembrance,
UTSA Campus Recreation
