Ercell proudly served in many church callings within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was a service missionary to the Cambodian ward and a dedicated librarian in her home ward. She loved the Lord dearly and enjoyed spending time in the temple whenever she could. Ercell always had a giving heart and was a listening ear to anyone in need. She would open her heart and home to everyone in her life, ensuring her loved ones were well-fed and taken care of. Everyone was always welcome in her home and at her dinner table. Her family was her greatest love, and family was everything to Ercell. She was a wonderful, gentle, loving, and caring mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend.
