I worked with Ella at Chevron and would sometimes run into Ella at the post office in The Woodlands. She always had that beaming smile. My condolences to the family during your time of sorrow. RIP my friend...

I know Ella from Chevron when she was the secretary for my group. We had a lot of fun with many happy memories. When Ella went to Germany she surprised me with two beautiful German tea cups that I still enjoy in my collection. I will always remember her sweetness and kindness. I know her family will miss her and I pray for you all in your time of mourning.
