She received her education in a country school near Paullina and was confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Germantown on April 9, 1922. On June 21, 1928, she was united in marriage to Orville J. Hatfield. Ella worked as a bookkeeper for Dr. Van Tuyl before she and her husband purchased a grocery store in Paullina in 1934. They owned and operated the business until 1948. Her husband preceded her in death on July 11, 1986 in Sioux City. Ella remained in her own home until the last few years, when she resided in the Paullina and Sutherland Care Center. She passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2009 at the Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa, reaching the age of 100 years, 9 months and 5 days.
