In life and in heaven Ms. Ella's light shines brightly. I was honored to have known her sweet spirit and loving heart if only for a short time. My prayers are with her family, we will all miss you but know your presence will live on in our hearts. Hugs and love Ms. Ella Mae
Ella was a prayer warrior that helped me through a dark time. She will always be in my heart and thoughts. We love you and will miss you beyond words. So thankful God has released you from your pain, I know you are bathing in his grace now. Prayers to your family for their loss. God bless
I did not know Ella long, however, it was a joy to have coffee with her each morning. she was a Godly woman with a heart of gold. She had a love of people, family, and the Lord. I have missed our morning conversations and will miss her greatly. My heart aches for her family and loved ones but I know she is where is wants to be, with a life of no more pain, with her Lord and Savior. Ella is an angel that will be looking over all those she loved and cherished. FLY HIGH ELLA!!!!!
Ella became a dear friend when I went to work at Professional Bank in 2007. We knew many of the same people but had never met each other. I have to say she was one of the most precious people I've ever met. She was kind, thoughtful and also prayful. In those early days she would make a birthday cake or banana pudding and many times both to celebrate every birthday for those at Lakewood branch. We had many great life conversations in those early mornings at the bank. In the time that I knew her she would never leave the bank for lunch and I'll never forget the day she agreed to go across the street with me for lunch. I felt so honored. My heart breaks with her family today. RIP dear Ella Mae!
My most heartfelt condolences for Ella's family. May you find comfort in knowing she is at peace and with her Lord.
It was great helping with Ella at work and enjoying her company. She always believed me chasing my dream and see how hard I work. She remind me of my grandma always telling stories and telling me I am doing a great job even days when I am not. she got on me for running too fast getting the door for her and waiting on her. She will be missed and remind me to keep pushing forward even days I don't feel like it. I'm very blessed having worked with her and listening her stories.
I had the privilege of knowing and working with Ella for over 20 years. She was a strong Christian woman who shared her faith in all she said and did. She was so kind and worked very hard everyday. She always cared about those she worked with and took time to do for others, whether it was just asking about our family, or taking time to bake a delicious birthday cake, or being the wise one to whom we could go to for questions during our work day. She was always available, always working, always caring, and always loving the Lord. She will be missed very much, and I'm thankful to have been able to work with, learn from, and experience her beautiful spirit over the years.
