June 12, 2023

Luella G Elstun was born to Carl and Nancy Karns on September 23, 1931, in Bucklin, Kansas and passed away peacefully on June 12, 2023, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She was always proud to be born a Hatfield and she fought just like one until the end.
Luella was born on a farm in Ford County, KS. The family moved to Sterling, KS when she was in elementary school, and she graduated from Sterling High School. It was there she learned the most beautiful penmanship (family, friends and pen pals have enjoyed her handwritten notes over the years). After graduation, she married and had three children. Luella's parents moved to Colorado Springs in 1951 where Luella and the kids would soon follow and move into the house that she lived in until March of this year. It became a home base for her growing family. Luella has always been very proud of her family and the support she has given and received from them.
Luella was very involved in East United Methodist Church. She was instrumental in running the church, visiting shut-ins, helping with the operation of the church and later became the Lay Leader. Luella was also a representative of the Methodist conference, attended national meetings, and even spoke at a conference attended by over 400 women in California. Eventually, Luella was asked to lead the youth group of the church. She is fondly remembered by the youth that she led, it was something Luella was delighted to be a part of and very proud of the youth she served. Her work with the church and all the people involved were her most gratifying accomplishments. She is and will be missed by her family and her many friends in the church. May she fly with the Angels.
She is survived by her children Sharon Nemeth, Ron Elstun (Michelle) and Gary Elstun (Barb); grandchildren Chrissie Nemeth, Michael Nemeth (Camie), Kari Mullis (Sam), Catie Weitzel (Erik), Kyle Elstun, Maren Mima (Mike) and Carlye Elstun; great-grandchildren Blake Nemeth, Kaden Mima, Grant Nemeth, Amelia Mullis, Ryann Nemeth, Walker Weitzel, James Mullis and Weston Weitzel. She also leaves behind many friends and loved ones that have always known her as "Grandma Luella".
Funeral services will be on Saturday, June 24th at East United Methodist Church at 2:00pm. All are welcome to help us celebrate her amazing life. A memorial fund has been set up in her name at East United Methodist Church to support the causes closest to her heart.
