She worked as a cook in the Minneota school cafeteria for 31 years, retiring May 31, 1988. Luella loved spending time with family, especially at family reunions. She enjoyed baking and playing games with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Luella liked mowing her lawn and sharing homemade jelly, jam, and baked goods with family and friends. She was also skilled at embroidery, gifting loved ones embroidered dish towels for important life events.
