I have known Ella since I was a young girl as Ella worked nights with my mum Anne Raby, I later had the privilege of working night duty with Ella myself when I became a staff nurse. I was on nights with Ella on her first night back on duty after the loss of Bobby....I dont think there was a person on duty that night who did not come through our ward doors at some point during the night to give their love & support to Ella. A truly remarkable lady well loved and respected and greatly missed Shirley

I first met Ella when I attended my first Cumbria branch meeting. She was the first to make me welcome and I will never forget her kindness. Congress with Ella was always fun and she was fabulous company. Our branch were lucky to have her as our President. Ella is an amazing lady who dedicated her life to Nursing. She is an inspiration to us all. I feel blessed to have known her ❤️

I remember Ella well, always demonstrating the best in nursing, both for patients, and her colleagues. A determined lady, who could always be relied upon for her valued opinion. Felicity
