I had the honor of having a twenty year friendship with Ella. She has always held and always will hold a special place in my heart as well as in the hearts of my husband and children. Many years of happy memories sharing recipes, telling stories, watching the downtown Ellsworth Christmas Parade together, and lots of laughter. On her wish list was a hot air balloon ride which she fulfilled at the age of 100. She was waiting at the door that afternoon when I picked her up to take her and the look of joy on her face while riding in that balloon is priceless. Ella was loved by many and will be missed so much. We love you, our dear little Miss Ella B.❤
Rest in peace my sweet Ella. I love you. I will hold close to my heart the special times we spent together.
