She was born Jan. 21, 1934, to parents Rebekah Anthony and Lester Kurip on the Northern Ute Indian Reservation in White Rocks, Utah. She was a tribal member of the Northern Ute Tribe where she was fluent in the Ute language and loved to go to the Sundances and Bear dances.
She married George Aguilar Sr. in Tacoma, Wash., on Dec. 25, 1955, and they celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary on Christmas Day 2007.
In Mrs. Aguilar's early years she loved to visit with family and friends, sew, do beadwork, teach Bible study to young children and attend church services. Throughout her lifetime, she has shared with family and friends her zest for life and her love of God -- this came through giving, caring, listening, and praying for those who were in a time of need. In the latter years she loved serving the Lord and being with family, especially her grandchildren.
Survivors include her husband of 52 years, George Aguilar Sr.; three sons, Easton (and wife Tina) Aguilar, Ralph (Lucille) Aguilar, and George (Vangie) Aguilar Jr.; one daughter, Rebekah (and husband Nathan) Main; 21 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren, all of Warm Springs.
She also raised several children and grandchildren throughout her lifetime. Also surviving are nephews, Alonzo Jim, Eddie (and Carleen) Kurip, Aaron Kurip of Utah; and niece, Eileen Standing Rock of Montana; and several grandnephews and grandnieces, also of Utah.
Preceding Ella in death are her parents; one son, Antonio "Tony" Aguilar; and one granddaughter, Geralyn Suppah Aguilar.
Funeral services were held Feb. 1, at the Full Gospel Church in Warm Springs, with burial at the Agency Cemetery. Arrangements were under the direction of Bel-Air Colonial Funeral Home of Madras.
