Ella is proceeded in death by her parents, siblings, and many other family members.
She is survived by her daughters, Terri Redding (Shaun Naalsund), Gidget Netland and Kim Seacord; her granddaughters Noel Redding (Derek Rengo), Taylor Netland and Brooke Seacord; and her great-grandson Ryker Rengo; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins, especially her favorite cousin, Sharon Shuck; and her furbabies and grand furbabies.
Ella was always there for her daughters and granddaughters for whatever they were going through in life. She was very proud of her great-grandson Ryker, who brought joy to her.
