Family was Chella’s priority. She loved her children unconditionally—and her grandchildren even more. A stay-at-home mom, she helped provide for her family by selling things like Amway and Tupperware and everything in between.
Chella was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. She was honest and you always knew what she was thinking. A friend to all. Involved in genealogy work for many years, preparing books of her ancestors and prepared books for her family. She was known for her "Chella Rolls" that she provided regularly for funeral luncheons and other ward functions.
Chella’s hands were always busy. She made several hundred premie hats for humanitarian needs over the years. She made many quilts over the years for her children and has been working on making one for each of her grandchildren.
Chella is a member of DUP. She always had a warm and willing smile.
