Ella was predeceased by her husband William; her parents; three brothers, and her sister. She is survived by her sister Margaret of Edmonton and several sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Ellas family was of the utmost importance to her. Her love for her daughter Lynn Veters (Vic) and her son Keith Hassan (Joyce) her seven grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren was felt like the summer sun on their faces. Mothers last working years were spent at the Belgium Pastry Shop until she retired in 1970. Upon retirement Mom led a very active life, volunteering at the Red Cross, St. Boniface and Victoria Hospitals, and canvassing for several charitable organizations. Her favourite pastimes were bowling, swimming, line dancing and long walks. Ella loved to travel and wherever she went she made new friends. But most important of all was the time she spent with her family and friends.
