Ella enjoyed making jewelry, gardening, canning, and cooking. Her favorites were homemade noodles, rolls, and her famous Texas Sheet Cake. In 1999 Ella found her partner and companion in Roger Vanderpool. The couple spent 11 long years enjoying each other’s company traveling, hanging out with friends and family, and going to the casinos. Ella never knew a stranger, and found a way to love everyone, and when you came to her home, she made sure everyone was well fed and taken care of. Her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids were very loved by her, and she will be missed dearly as she touched our lives in such a profound way. Ella’s legacy is her family. She was a loving mother and caregiver. We were all blessed to be able to call her Mom, Grandma, great Grandma, sister, and friend. Until we meet again. Rest in peace now. Soar like an eagle, go rest high on that mountain for your work here is done.
