My heart is broken at the loss of sweet Ella Nora. She was a constant my entire life. I was in my teens before I knew she was my Aunt by choice not by blood. Ella Nora and my Mama were best friends since grade school. I'm so glad I got to see her once last time in the hospital back in August. Fly high Aunt Ella Nora, till we meet again.

So proud to call Ellen Nora my cousin. She was a beautiful soul and had a huge heart.
She loved her family and friends and loved the Lord most of all.
She will be extremely missed.
Ella Nora was a very good friend. We had known each other since we attended high school together. For the past several years, our class would meet for a reunion picnic or dinner. She was such an important part of our class and would always be at these gatherings. She got everyone's birthdays and addresses and would send out birthday cards to everyone when they had a birthday. She kept the addresses updated and kept the class updated if someone would have a change of address. She will be missed so much. We all loved her as much as she loved us. Our good friend is resting now and we know we will see her again some day. …
Ella's Nora took me under her wing when I began work as a bookkeeper with W. C . Southern and J. D. Nice wonder. She was a true friend and has kept touch with me over the years. My thoughts and love are with her family.
