It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ella Lou Pierce, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, who left us on January 28, 2026, at the age of 88. Ella was born on December 2, 1937, in Hart, Texas, and cherished her roots throughout her life. She resided in Lubbock, Texas, where she touched the lives of many with her creativity and warmth.

Ella had a fulfilling career as a technician in the electronics industry at Texas Instruments, where her dedication and hard work shone brightly. She was an inspiration to those around her, not only in her professional life but also in her personal passions. Ella enjoyed various hobbies, especially sewing and pottery, and she poured her love and creativity into everything she made, leaving a legacy of cherished handmade treasures for her family and friends.

Ella is survived by her beloved daughter, Norma Harrison, along with her devoted son, Lonnie Pierce, and daughter-in-law, Melissa Pierce, and her devoted son, Brad Pierce, and daughter-in-law, Olivia Pierce. She is also survived by six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She leaves behind a profound legacy of love, kindness, and a spirit that will forever be remembered by all who knew her.

Ella was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Pierce, her father, Ewell Jobe and her mother, Vernon Jobe.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at Sanders Funeral Home at 5:00 PM, where family and friends can gather to celebrate Ella's life and share their memories.

Norma, Lonnie, and Brad.....
I opened my email tonight to read the news about your mom. It broke my heart!!! So many of my core memories include your family.....more specifically, your Mom and Dad!!! From picking vegetables in the garden, to spending whole weekends shelling peas and canning, to motorcycles and enduros. The were the funniest couple!!! I can not ever remember a time that your Dad didn't meet us with his genuine smile. It was was never long before he was off telling a "storie" or offering some helpful advice and the he would have the attention of everyone in ear shot and every single one would be laughing!!! And, it was impossible to hear your Mom laugh and not follow suit. And, on the worst of days she gave the best hugs and refused to let you loose or to walk away while you still had tears in your eyes on on your face, wasn't happening until she got a smile out of you!!! We grew up as family, and I was half grown before I ever realized we were not bound by blood!!! Lol... It's been so many years since I'd seen your Mom & Dad, but I did miss them and think of them often...and always fondly! I am so sorry for your loss, please know it was not your loss alone. She will continue to be missed and I will treasure both your parents and the love and memories they so freely gifted us for as long as my heart beats. Praying for you all .....
