Ella Kunz

Our beloved mom, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend Ella Kunz passed away the morning of November 9, 2012 at the Hunterdon Medical Center. She could not fight the complications that arose from a fall at her home in October. Ella was loved by all and left a lot of joyous memories for all of us as she guided us on our life paths. She will be dearly missed.

Ella arrived in the United States from Germany in 1951 at the age of 21 and proceeded to make her home in Flushing, New York. Two of her sisters Hannelore and Agnes followed Ellas adventurous spirit and also immigrated to the United States. Ella met the love of her life Hans, married on November 29, 1952 and had two children Nancy and Robert. Ella was always looking out for her family and took them through two moves eventually ending up in Flemington, NJ in 1971. Here she continued her devotion to the Catholic Church and community participating in organizations like the Rosary Altar Society, seeing to the needy and volunteering her time and talent to anyone who needed it. Her talent and passion was baking and cooking. She became well known for her baking skills and the baked goodies she would bring to her friends and neighbors. Her family, fellow parishioners and friends were the center of Ellas life and it gave her great joy to see their paths intertwine and prosper.

Ella leaves behind her husband of almost 60 years, Hans; daughter Nancy; son Robert and his wife Lucille and three grandchildren: Michael, Timothy and Rebecca. Also her sisters Thea, Hannelore, Mia, and Agnes (Guenter); and brother Leo (Elsa). Plus many nieces and nephews both in the United States and Germany all of whom she loved very much. She joins her brothers Ewald and Heinz in the Lords presence.

A Mass to celebrate Ellas life will be held in the near future under the direction of the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street, Flemington, NJ.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ellas memory to Camp Rainbow Gold, an American Cancer Society funded camp for child cancer patients in Idaho at: The American Cancer Society, Camp Rainbow Gold, 2676 S. Vista Ave, Boise, ID 83705.
