ELLSWORTH – Ella (Cushman) Urquhart, 89, went to be with our Lord Feb. 14, 2007, at an Ellsworth hospital. She was born Dec. 18, 1917, in Ells-worth, the daughter of Walter H. and Minnie (Tripp) Cushman. Ella graduated from Ellsworth High School and lived in Ellsworth her entire life. She was a bookkeeper for Ellsworth Falls Lumber for many years and continued when the business was sold to Ellsworth Builders Supply until her retirement in 1980. When EBS built an addition on their building, they named the new space for Ella. She was pleased although embarrassed by the attention. She was on the advisory board at Meadowview for many years. She is survived by her son, Perley A. Urquhart and wife, Teddy and their daughters, Stephanie Dumas, Susan Cummings and Stacy Urquhart; five great-grandsons, Stephan K. Urquhart, Theodore D. Dumas, Harland W. Urquhart, Blake E. Stanley and Logan P. Stanley, all of whom loved her dearly; nephew, Paul W. Clement and wife, Susan; two nieces, Carolyn C. Reckamp and husband, Raymond, and Pamela Turba; many great-nieces and great-nephews. She was predeceased by her parents; husband, Harland L. Urquhart; sisters, Sylvia Cushman Whitcomb and Margaret Cushman Clement. She will be sadly missed by her family and many friends. Calling hours will be held 5:30-7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 16, at Jordan-Fernald, 113 Franklin St., Ellsworth, where a funeral service will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 17. Interment will be in the spring at Woodbine Cemetery and announced by the family. Special thanks to Debra Gray of Ellsworth for her longterm love and care of Ella. Also, thanks to Sandra DeWitt of Ellsworth, the caring staff of One Step Homecare and to the intensive care unit staff at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital.
