Her paternal grandparents were Deane Poellnitz Cook and Arthur Philip Cook Jr. Her maternal grandparents were Katherine Stephens Bishop and William Moss Bishop."
"Ella was known for her wide array of interests, from being with her precious friends, to babysitting so many children who were special to her, to teaching young people in Bible studies, Sunday School, and academic subjects. Ella dearly loved children. In fact, she believed her highest calling would one day be to have children of her own. She had a love for piano, dance, spending time outdoors in Hale County, and traveling anywhere - especially where French is spoken!"
