I taught with Ella at McKinneyHS. She was a founding member of Team Pride which was a program to help at risk students! I was the counselor in this program! I miss Ella´s spirit and inspiration

I did not know that Ella had passed away. I met her in 2018 in Denton for lunch and she gave me a copy of her book, which I was reading tonight and decided to see which church she was pastoring!

Dr McDonald was a dear friend and beloved Clergysister. She was a powerful preacher and sought to live the truth of the Gospel. Our journeys were interwoven as pastors, Emmaus members, Adjunct Professors at Perkins, and District Superintendents. We spent many hours sharing and supporting each other. She will be greatly missed until we meet in the presence of our Lord Jesus.
Sincere Condolences,
Rev. Dr. Clara M. Reed

Dr. Ella McDonald was a true inspiration to me. She was a true woman of God and a real friend to my husband & I, and we felt blessed to have known and spent time with her. She was my Spiritual Leader on my Emmaus Walk, and I felt honored to have published her book; Great Diversities.
Dr. Ella, may you rest in the Loving Arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Respectfully,
Elgie & Van Loyd
