After working early in life she decided her calling was to be a wife and mother. Ella was united in marriage to Roland Sparrow for many years until his death in November 2002. Ella was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. She loved her family and spending time with them. She enjoyed getting all her family members together when possible especially on holidays. Some of her favorite things were cooking, shopping and listening to informative radio talk shows to keep her and her family informed. Most of all she loved attending church and also being in the presence of her church family. She joined Pilgrim's Way Bible Baptist Church in 1999 under the leadership of Pastor Raymond Thornton and First Lady Joyce Thornton whom she loved and appreciated. She served on the Usher Board for many years until her health no longer allowed her.
