Luella was incredibly smart, earning a Real Estate License and an Associate's Degree in Accounting and spending most of her life working as a professional bookkeeper. She was a very humble, but extremely gifted artist. Luella particularly enjoyed painting with oils and her pieces remain treasures in the homes of many of her family and friends. Whatever she was doing, she gave it her all!
After retiring and moving to California, Luella was a nanny for sixteen years. She and Bud Makrevis were married in 1997 and enjoyed many years of traveling the world. They enjoyed many adventures with her siblings and countless friends, including two of her besties, Carmelita Lija and Linda Berrios. Luella will be forever remembered for her unconditional love and unique bonds with her family and friends!
