She joined Rush Memorial Congregational Church at an early age and worked on the usher board.
Ella entered eternal rest on September 1, 1997. She leaves to cherish her memories, one son, Mr. & Mrs. Rodney (Belinda) Barnes; daughter-inlaw, Mrs. Hallie Bruce; two granddaughters, Kim and Tracy Bruce; one grandson, Nicholas Barnes; two sisters, Delia and Alice; two brothers, Newshun and Leon; faithful ex-husband, Francis Barnes, a host of nieces, nephews and friends .
"When I Must Leave You"
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile,
~.r~ .
,.
~ ~hJ,
Andfor my sake and in my name Live on and do all the things the same. Feed not your lo~eliness ~n empty days, Butfill each working hour In useful ways-Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer AndI in turn will comfort you and holdyou near
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waitingfor you in the sky!
