Ella died peacefully in her home in Spanish Fort, AL surrounded by family and friends. Ella walked through life with a fierce strength and loving commitment to her family and friends, touching the lives of so many with unforgettable grace.
Ella was born in Peru, IN on April 1, 1939. She moved to Fort Wayne, IN in 1970.
Ella is preceded in death by her daughter Beth Ann McNary. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Charles “Chuck” Warran, sons Steve Grisafo (Min) and Charles Warran (Kelly), and daughter Wendy Westrick (Joe), as well as her 7 grandchildren and 7 great grand children – all to whom she taught the beauty of life’s simple treasures of love and laughter.
Ella loved to cook for her family and friends, she loved a good joke – even though she always needed an explanation – and she loved a good coffee klatch.
Ella was a beautiful soul who was always ready to help those in need. Her spirit of love, friendship, and generosity will be dearly missed. In accordance with Ella’s wishes, no funeral will be held.
