Aunt Ella, what a wonderful cook she was as well as a wonderful mother to all her girls. I enjoyed going to Melinee’s after church and eating around the Snider table. She did always have a contagious smile and I will remember her forever. Always made you feel like family no matter how many years passed between us.
I am the daughter of her Uncle Charles William McNaughton, brother to her father…Alexander. I never met her however, her life seemed wonderful!!! (Charlotte McNaughton Solorio Nailor)
I called her Aunt Ella , she was my mothers best friend and I new her all my life growing up and visiting her in Georgia , and all her daughters homes , meeting their children. She stood in my wedding for my mother as she went to heaven early. I loved Aunt Ella with all my heart . She was definitely a beautiful southern lady with all the charm and her voice will always be a memory in my mind along with my own mother’s voice and lovely memories I hold dear. She lived a full life and will be missed by so many. I know she watching us from heaven~
