Manuela Gerber-Hunter (Ella), age 52, passed away peacefully November 21, 2023 . She was born October 30,1971 in Kusel , Germany to Ernst and Inge Gerber. She married Julius Hunter on May 18, 1992. From this union Monte (Serene ) and Daisha (Niya) were born. Both parents preceded her in death.
Ella was a homemaker and held a variety of managerial jobs. Her favorite store of all was Dollar Tree. In school she was on the swim team and volunteered as a life guard. She enjoyed watching skiing, bargain shopping, baking cakes and brownies, and burning out her vacuums and coffee pots.
Ella was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. She always put her kids needs before her own. She had always had a way of making sure her family was taken care of, and we never had empty stomachs when she was around. She especially loved her role as Oma. Ella had a way of spoiling her grandkids and loved showering them with thoughtful gifts. Especially giant bags of candy.
She loved going to H.E.B. and chatting with all of her friends. Ella was a social butterfly and would talk to anyone. Before her passing she talked about owning a spider monkey and even had a plan for family members to pitch in on one (in her words “Its only $11,000!)
She is the loving and devoted Oma to Maliha, Steven, Sofia and Madison Hunter of Colorado Springs,CO. A sister Marion (Ralf), brothers Ralf, Bernd (Margit), Dietmer, and a host of nieces and nephews, all of Germany. She had a host of family members and many friends in both the U.S. and Germany.
A Memorial Service for Manuela will be held on Tuesday November 28th, 2023 at 11am at Crawford Bowers Funeral Home of Copperas Cove.
