Ella and I were neighbours in what used to be called Brockelhurst. I didn’t see her much after high school as I left Kamloops. t I saw her at Fred’s a few years ago though. We talked a lot & I remember she shared that she had a heart problem. I’m sorry that I missed this years reunion & seeing Ella. My condolences to her family. May Ella’s soul always be blessed.
My sincere sympathy to Ella’s family on her sudden passing. Ella was a student of mine at NorKam and it was good to see her just a month ago at our reunion. I’m so glad she had the fun of reconnecting once again with many friends. She will be sadly missed.
Though I am unable to attend her funeral this Saturday you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Misses Graham as I used to call her was an amazing lady. I was best friends with Joey though High school and part of elementary school , and I got to know her really well. She was incredible Mom to all Joey’s friends and always willing to help. I have such fond memories of her. Please rest in peace Misses Graham. My thoughts are with you.
My sincere condolences to Ella’s family. I knew Ella and her brother Eric since I was a very little girl named Dorothy Wyrcimaga. Our mother’s were good friends. Ella was truly a beautiful soul, kind and gentle. I know that she is in a mighty fine place now, maybe singing songs with my daughter. RIP Ella

I was saddened to learn that Ella passed away suddenly. Although we had not been close friends for many years, we did have a nice chat at our reunion last month, one of many reunions she so enjoyed. My sincere condolences to Joey, Eric and families. You were the highlights in her life. She is now at peace!
So sorry for your loss. Ella was the glue that kept me in the loop with all the relatives. It was great to see her a year and a half ago when we were driving to Vancouver. We stayed over night in Kamloops and had a lovely dinner and a visit. Rest in peace Ella. You will be missed.

The Krentz family is so saddened to hear of Ella’s passing. Ella’s mom and our dad were brother and sister and grew up in a farming family near Laporte Saskatchewan. Ella loved visiting the farm with her mom. We had not seen Ella for a few years since my brother retired from farming and moved off the farm. My sister Karen flew her plane to Kamloops 4 yrs ago and had a visit with Ella.
Our deepest sympathy to Joey and Eric. We only heard the news from our cousin Otto the day of the funeral.
Deepest sympathy to Joseph and family. At such a time as this, there’s little we can do
but hope it helps to know in some small way that we are thinking of you and family.
Ella was a dear, kind and generous cousin. She enjoyed visiting and keeping in touch with family members across Canada.The Krentz family that immigrated to Canada from Poland in 1930 has lost another proud sibling. Your trials and tribulations are over. Ella, may you rest in peace.
So sorry to see Ella’s obituary last week. Have known her since elementary school. For the last many years, have seen her as the constant pleasant face at the airport security area. Sincere condolences to her family.
My deepest sympathy to Joseph and family. I have known Ella since she joined the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Kamloops #3453, Ladies Auxiliary in 1981. She added joy to any function she attended, and she always had time for a chat. She will be missed by many.
Our condolences. Will miss seeing Ella at the airport, always waiting to chat & sharing stories of her family and friends. She left a lasting impression.
Most caring lady I have ever had the privilege
of knowing.Love you Ella
