Ella was granted her wish to pass peacefully in her sleep in her own home with fresh baking on her counter. We would have celebrated her 100th Birthday in February. She was predeceased by her Chilliwack pioneer parents Harry & Isabella Ballam, husband Art Bedard in 2019 as well as her siblings Carrie Quinlan, William, Bob, Jack & Casey Ballam. She is survived by her sister Velma Edmondson, son Robert (Bob) Bedard (Betty) & daughter Bonnie McKeown. Grandchildren Jalean Behal, Norman Bedard (Natalie), Jennifer Allan (Chris) & DouglasMcKeown. Greatgrandchildren Weston Blank, Isabella ,Evan, Olivia Bedard & Grace Verstraelen. Janeve, Ayden, & Arlo Allan, as well as many nieces and nephews. Her door was always open for anyone passing by. A “woohoo” at the door would be rewarded with tea, biscuits and freshly baked sweets, along with a cheerful chat. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her, but she will have the kettle on and be waiting patiently for us all. No funeral as requested. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the BC Cancer Society, Children’s Hospital, or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
