Her Legacy Ella Loraine McClatchey,81, passed away July 12, 2025. She was born on June 18, 1944, in Howell, Michigan to Amus Sutfin and Naomi (Jackson) Sutfin. Ella married the love of her life, Bill McClatchey in Brighton, Michigan. Ella was a professional guardian and conservator and always looked out for her clients' best interests. Ella loved to help people, and it showed in her work. She was a total sweetheart but could also be a firecracker and she stood her ground when it came to advocating for the people that she helped in her career. Ella loved to cook and decorate cakes; she was also a talented seamstress. She adored her grandchildren and loved to spoil them and then send them back home to their parents. Ella was deeply loved by her family and friends, and she will be greatly missed.
Her Family Ella will be missed by her husband, Bill McClatchey; her children, David (Dawn) McClatchey, Susan (Tom) Browne; grandchildren, Tyler (Laura) McClatchey, Brianna (Kyle) Jenks, Logan McClatchey, and Natalie (Andrew Kelm) Browne. She is preceded in death by her parents, Amus and Naomi Sutfin.
Her Farewell Ella's family and friends will gather privately. Please leave a message of comfort for Ella's family at 1-877-231-7900, or sign her guestbook at www.borekjennings.com.
