Ella Sutton Williams died Oct. 12, 2012 in Tacoma, Wash., at the age of 94. Ella was born in Los Angeles, Calif. She met and married Edward Williams before he left to fight in Europe during WWII. After returning from War Ed brought his bride back home to Baker Valley where he was raised. They were blessed with a daughter, De Ette, who was their pride and Joy. Ed worked in retail sales and Ella worked for 5J as a cook, then head cook at Brooklyn School. Hot nutritious food was always served with a smile.
Ed and Ella celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends before Ed passed away in 1998. They were best friends and she missed him greatly. They were both active in the Calvary Baptist and provided a great example of how to live their faith.
Ella spent the last three years of her life living with her daughter Dee and son-in-law Rusty. She enjoyed being near her family, but missed Baker Valley, friends and family. She especially missed her niece Rowena and friend Maxine.
Ella is survived by her daughter Dee, son-in-law Rusty Seaworth, grandchildren Denny McLean, Gail Burnworth, and great-grandson Bryce, Kim and Destiny, many special nieces, nephews and friends.
Ella was cremated in Tacoma and her ashes will be brought to Baker for services and burial at a later date. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Baker City Calvary Baptist Church.
