Ella Wright-Walls Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On Friday, December 4, 2020, Ella Wright-Walls, loving mother, sister, and aunt, passed away at the age of 68. She is preceded in death by both parents, two sisters and her husband. She is survived by her children, sisters, brothers and a host of nieces and nephews. Ella was a native New Yorker that recently relocated to Texas. She was an attendant for seniors in the New York Jewish Hospital in Bronx, NY for over 10 years before changing careers and started to work for St. Dominic’s Family Services. Ella was always a creative person, from creating entire wardrobes by sewing and crocheting, to being the go-to cake baker for her family and friends. Later in life, Ella’s favorite pastimes were shopping (well shopping was throughout her entire life) and her absolute favorite, video slot machines at Empire Casino in Yonkers, NY. Ella will be greatly missed by more than just her family. She had a passion for generosity and life. She always welcomed everyone into her home and her heart. She will forever be, “Aunty”, for everyone in her NY neighborhood. She loved music, her family will always think of her when they hear Luther, Janet, Beyoncé, Shakira, Michael and Madonna. One of her favorite songs was “Together Again” by Janet Jackson, which now has a special meaning for her family. Due to Covid-19 restrictions on large gatherings, her celebration will be postponed until she can have the service she deserved. She never wanted a funeral, her wish was to be cremated and have a big party. She did not want sadness, she wanted people to celebrate who she was, by gathering, eating and telling stories. And then she wanted her ashes scattered in the biggest ocean near the biggest mall. She will have that!!
