Ella Jean Woodruff

Ella J. Woodruff, 83, got her wings and went to heaven at home surrounded by family on Sunday, May 26, 2019 in Laingsburg, Michigan. Ella loved spending time with her family, cake decorating, cooking her famous fried chicken and homemade noodles, crossword puzzles, and anything to do with crafts.

She is proceeded in death by her husband, Thomas E Woodruff Sr., her soulmate, Donald Dechelbor, her sons, Thomas E Woodruff Jr. and Keith Pennala, her parents, Farrel and Fern Alward, her bother Lee Alward, and her niece Shelby Ledesma.

Surviving to cherish her memory are children, Karen (Ken) Howe, Pennie Ballard, and Steve (Stacy) Woodruff; her grandchildren, Amber (Nick) Jubb, Savanah (Tucker) Shirey, Christopher, Conner and Mackenzie Woodruff; great grandchildren, Jenna, Owen and Little Ella; sister and bestfriend, Donna Hollen; special niece, Peggie Alward; many nieces and nephews.

A very special "Thank you!" for the support from Tracy Hill, Tracy Houle Thompson, along with the Woodruff and Langham families, Marjorie Sue Montgomery, Renee Johnson, the Hospice Care Team, and Laingsburg Lions Club.

Ella will be laid to rest at Pleasant Hill Cemetery with a private service, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
