Ella Meier, age 91 of Seguin passed away to her heavenly home on June 9, 2024. Ella was born June 8, 1933 in Marion, Texas to Julius and Ida (Zimmermann) Bulgrin.
She was united in marriage to Edwin Meier Jr. in 1952. The young couple’s aspiration to purchase a farm was successful, but not without sacrifice and struggles.
During these times, money was limited, but a strong work ethic and integrity made this dream come true. Ella was a steadfast woman of perseverance. This proud accomplishment lived on in Ella’s heart until the very end.
Ella retired from Hexcel Corporation after 35 years of service. Ella’s enjoyment of meeting new people and not wanting idle time, motivated her to seek other employment opportunities. During the years in various duties, whether paid or volunteered, she met so many new people and enjoyed reconnecting with friends of the past. Her cherished 1952 black Chevrolet truck also gained her much attention and admiration from many. Most of all her baking skills were unsurpassed and shared with many. Her greatest hobby included gardening many vegetables in her beloved garden and giving out produce to family and friends. Even after many years have passed, the memory of those treats lingers with all her special recipients.
Ella is preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband, Edwin Meier, Jr. and sister, Rosa Schwarzlose.
Survivors include her daughter, Sandra Gawlik and husband, Thomas; grandchildren, Jeremy Meier, Tyler Gawlik, Kailey Gawlik; great-grandchildren, Lukas, Jordyn, Alena, Alexa, Makenna, and Emery; several nieces; and many other friends and loving family members. Ella leaves behind her best companion Buddy who was always by her side to the end.
A heartful appreciation is extended to Susanna Alcala and her caregivers Veronica Alcala and Maria Ortega, for the supportive foundation given to honor Ella’s wish to remain in her home.
Private graveside services and interment will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Guadalupe County
