On June 16, 2017, at the age of 105, we lost our mom, the cherished heart and soul of our family.

Ella was predeceased by her husband Hughie and her loving daughter Lynne. She is survived by daughters Gail (Len) and Vicki (Larry), eight grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren, as well as her dear friend Audrey.

Mom and Dad were longtime residents of Powell River, having arrived in 1941 when Dad took over the Imperial Oil agency.

Mom was the ultimate hostess, had a great sense of style and never wore a pair of jeans in her life. Practical and creative, strong, independent and resilient, she inspired everyone she met. She loved travelling, entertaining, knitting, a good book, ceramics, music and her home; but most of all she loved her family.

Mom has left us with a lifetime of memories and a legacy of love that we will carry with us into the future.

We would like to thank the care aides who attended to Ella in her home, especially Evelyn, as well as Dr. Skobkareva and the staff of Evergreen Care Unit, for their kindness, support and care.

There is no service at Ella’s request, but the family will gather for a glass of wine and a “good cup of tea” at a later date, to celebrate her wonderful life.
