Ella is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 50 years, Robert Maxwell Lynn, her parents James and Lula Mae Hammond, her oldest son Robert Maxwell Lynn, Jr, and all 6 of her siblings. She is survived by her children, Marty (Roger) Brom and Matt Lynn (Connie Luckie), three grandchildren, Amy Lee (Jeff) Tate, Max (Trista) Brom, and Lindsey (Chris) Woodie. She was also blessed to be able to know and love her nine great grandchildren, Kaylin Tate, Annlee Tate, Maryella Tate, Elianna Tate, Payton Woodie, Samuel Brom, Hudson Woodie, Knox Tate, and Lulabeth Tate, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins who she dearly loved.

Ella was born on June 20, 1923 in Hope Hull, Alabama. She was number 5 of 7 children. Attending church with her family were some of her earliest memories. Her mother instilled in her children to be good and fear the Lord. At age 19, she surprised everyone by joining the US Navy. She served for 2 years, 4 months, and 9 days in the WAVES. She met Robert and they got married on December 1, 1946. They lived a beautiful and full life together for 50 years and then she lived another 27 years until their heavenly reunion.

Ella was a loving mother and grandmother, an inspirational speaker in Toastmasters, church, and over 60 years as a Sunday School teacher. She loved God, her family, making pound cakes, memorizing poetry, hymns, flowers, and Alabama football. She leaves behind a lasting legacy in her family, friends, and everyone who knew her. Today she is enjoying a family reunion that she has been looking forward to for many years.
