Graham Leader - Wednesday, March 23, 2005

Ella L. Selby, a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother went to be
with her Heavenly Father on Palm Sunday, March 20, 2005. She was 81 years of
age. She passed away with family members present. Memorial services will be held
at 3 p.m. Friday, March 25, at Pioneer Cemetery in Graham. Anyone wanting to
send flowers may send them to McMillan-Satterwhite Funeral Home in Graham.

Ella was born Dec. 25, 1923, to Joseph and Ella Mikeska in Caldwell County. Upon
retiring in 1971 to Graham, she enjoyed gardening, knitting, crocheting,
cooking, fishing, cards and certainly enjoyed her grandchildren and children.
Her favorite time of year was the spring and she would plant flowers avidly each
year. No other person was so caring and concerned as she was in her lifetime for
her children. Ella was preceded in death by her husband, Darrell Selby, and a
son, Charles Allen Parker.

Survivors include two sons, Lloyd Parker and James Parker; two daughters,
Katherine Greene and Carol Sitig; her grandchildren, Dustin Parker, Chelsie
Parker, Ashton Parker, Nicholas Ruiz, Jordan Ruiz, Caroline Brooks, Ashley
Brooks and Ryan Sitig; and a great-grandchild, Christine Rayner.

A special thank you to the A.L.West Hospice Center caregivers in Fort Worth for
such caring and giving services to her in her last days. A job very well done by
all of the staff there.
