Luella was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, never failing to remember each and every one of their birthdays. She was a wonderful singer and a captivating storyteller keeping everybody entranced with her tails and voice. She was a woman who lit up a room as soon as she walked in, always having a full face of make-up and continually called people "precious" and saying I love you. She was quick to make fun of herself, and quick to build others up. Her boundless energy, laughter and humor will never be forgotten. Her love of the lord always showed through in her daily life and she would preach to anyone who would listen. Jesus, her Savior, will have many canvas' awaiting for our very talented artist Luella.
