Friends are invited to share their memories of Ella with her family at the Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home in Kitchener during visitation on Monday, October 3, 2005 from 7-9 p.m. and on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 from 12: 30-2 p.m. at First Mennonite Church, 800 King St. E. in Kitchener. A Funeral Service to celebrate Ella's life and faith will immediately follow at 2 p.m. with Pastor Gary Knarr officiating. After the funeral service and interment, friends and relatives are invited to remain at the church for refreshments and a time to visit with the family. In lieu of flowers, donations to First Mennonite Church or Mennonite Central Committee Ontario would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy and can be arranged through the funeral home. A special thank you to Dr. Richard Kennel and Dr. Ronald Pace as well as the staff at Grand River Hospital, and Dr. Williamson and staff at the Freeport Palliative Care Hospital for their exceptional care and comfort. "Remember her with a smile today, she was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories of all the happy years. Recall to mind the way she spoke of all the things she said. Her strength, her stance, the way she walked, remember these instead. The good advice she'd give us, her eyes that shone with laughter. So much of her will never die, but live on ever after."
