Ella was born in Rio Grande City, TX on December 26, 1930 and raised in both Agua Nueva (Jim Hogg County) and Hebbronville, TX. She married Isaac Trevino Sr on May 31,1953. They built a life and raised a family together in Falfurrias , TX until Isaac's untimely death in 1981. From then on Ella stayed in her Blucher Street home until her move into a Nursing Home in Austin, TX two years ago. Ella was a fierce woman who didn't mind staying alone in her home. She would pass the time away caring for elderly Falfurrias residents and attending masses at Sacred Heart Church until she no longer could physically. Her family would tease about getting to church early enough to help light the candles. Another of her favorite pastimes was reading. She enjoyed the Reader's Digest and always had plenty of magazines handy. She also was a fantastic cook and would often bake for others in her rooster and chicken inspired kitchen. While she did live alone, she did look forward to the company of her friends and family. Her last few years in Austin, she enjoyed her daily visits from nearby family members, especially Celina, her daughter. 

The family would like to extend a note of appreciation and gratitude to the entire staff at South Park Meadows Rehabilitation and Nursing home in Austin, TX for making her last few years comfortable. 

A Memorial Mass will take place at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Falfurrias, Texas on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at 11AM, followed by an inurnment at Falfurrias Burial Park.
