There are not enough grand words to say how special Ella was to me. I married her grandson, Rich Seeber. Long before then Ella had welcomed me into the family, calling me Lynny. She Loved her family with her whole heart. She told me one time that, even when “they were wrong, they were ‘right’ with her.” Nothing they could ever do would dim her love for her family.
She had a sense of humor! She was a Lady in all that she did. Sprinkled with a little ‘naughty.’ Our son, Shan, asked her when he was very young, Gramma Ella, How old are you? She replied, “I’m as old as the hills and twice as dirty!”
She had seen much of life and shared that knowledge. She taught me so much! I was shy, quiet, uncertain. She put a book on my head and told me to walk back and forth across her living room. She told me “Hold your head up. Look people in the eye. Don’t let the book slide off your head.” I did this for about 20 minutes. From then on, when she saw me coming to the house, if my eyes were on the ground, she would say, “Lynny! Get your head up.” Dad taught us to look people in the eye and use our manners. Ella gave me the challenge of the book on my head which had my Focus on keeping my head up, eyes forward!
Wonderful lady!
I will miss her every day.

RIP Stacy-Lyn! You were my first boss, and I will always remember the fun times we all had back at Pacific Pizza! You sparked my love of making people happy, and my customer service skills will always be accredited to the time I spent working for you. Your death saddens me, you will be greatly missed!
