Remembering MaryElla Wallace
MaryElla was so kind and full of life. She, her dear husband Don and I spent many hours over the years talking about our passion for fox hunting, horses, and the beauty of Chester County. She was quite the lady but not someone who put up with fools or nonsense!! She enjoyed sharing stories, meals and memories of the life they led together. I always enjoyed spending time with them both. She is reunited with her beloved Don and I know they can both hear the hounds and the horn and bid them a hearty Tally Ho. A wonderful life, well lived. Heels down and kick on MaryElla. Love you!!
