Ella Dyer Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Simpson Funeral Home - Webb City on Dec. 26, 2025.
Ella Catherine Dyer, known fondly as Penny to her loved ones, was a beacon of light and warmth in the lives of many. Born on June 14, 1955, in Anthony, KS, USA, Ella was a loyal daughter, a loving mother, and a reliable friend. Her unwavering dedication to her family, friends, and passions was an inspiration to us all. Ella's life was a testament to the words of Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Ella truly lived these words, touching the hearts of everyone she met.
Ella was a dedicated employee at Tyson in Monett, Missouri, from where she retired after many years of service. Her loyalty and dedication were not just confined to her professional life, but also shone brightly in her personal life. Ella had a unique penchant for collecting coins, a hobby that showcased her keen eye for detail and patience. But what mattered most to her was her family. She was a caring and devoted mother to her sons, Raymond Grassold and Jerry Dyer, cherishing every moment she spent with them.
Ella's love for life and her family will always be remembered by her sons, Raymond and Jerry. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Nellie Whitaker, whose memories she held close to her heart. As we remember Ella, let us celebrate her vibrant spirit, her enduring love for her family, and her unwavering dedication to those she held dear. In the words of Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Ella indeed left an indelible mark on our hearts with her love, loyalty, and dedication.
