Ella May was born on January 6, 1924, in Shadyside, Ohio, to the late Charles and Laureda (Gress) Monahan.

She was a longstanding member of First English Lutheran Church where she taught Sunday School and was active in several women’s organizations. Later she was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Crestline, where she fostered lasting friendships and enjoyed being a part of the church community.

She worked for many years at the Crestline Public Library, where she enjoyed helping with children’s story hour, passing down her joy of reading to new generations.
