They also traveled frequently, hosted lively parties, and fed friends and family delicious meals.  Ella had a long career as a chemist in the personal care product industry but also had many creative pursuits including jewelry making, knitting and healing touch. Ella loved being in nature and had a deep appreciation for many animals including elephants and seabirds. She frequented the beautiful waters of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula and beaches near St. Petersburg, Florida with her family.
 In 2018, Ella moved to Florida and spent several precious years with her daughters and grandchildren nearby. Ella loved children and had a gift for engaging in imaginative play with them.
