Ella Begley was one of my favorite people in this world. Her passing has made us all very sad but it is only because she was such a joy to have in our lives and she will be missed so dearly. I have so many fun, caring, and thoughtful memories of Mrs. B. and I feel very fortunate to have known her. She deserved more time but made the most of what she had. I will really miss her.

John, we were so sad to follow Ella's courageous battle to its end. She was indeed one of the sweetest, most loving people we've known. Hopefully you are comforted a bit by knowing how very much you, the kids and the grandkids enriched her life. May your fondest memories stay with you. Surely she is smiling on you all now and always.
fondly, Bailey and Tina Schell
