Ella Mae Burtis, 82, of Deale, MD passed away May 2, 2020. She was born August 26, 1937 to Frederick R. and Josephine Siegert. Ella was a devout Catholic and member of St. Anthony’s Church in North Beach, MD. She loved to crochet and was a person much on the move in the interest of family and others.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband R.D. Burtis, and a brother Fred Siegert. She is survived by children David Burtis, Donna Newman, and Roy Jeffrey Burtis, and sisters Katherine Tucker and Connie Service, and brothers Peter and Michael Siegert.
Ella, “May the Lord keep you, bless you, and, and make his countenance shine upon you.”

Oh how I will miss your sense of humor and your friendship. I’ve known Ella for many years. She helped so many students at the College of Southern Maryland as a Math tutor. They would arrive confused about algebra or trigonometry and Ella would help them understand the problems – and pass their math classes! She did all of this with a friendly, warm smile. We will meet again someday my friend. Heartfelt condolences to the family. Denise Cherry

So very to sorry to hear of her passing. We had a lot of memories and especially her trying to teach me how to crochet. And trying to teach our son Little Joe to play the guitar. You will be missed so much. Jean and Joe Caldwell

My heart is full of sadness and my prayers go out to her family during this difficult time. I met Ella years ago when she came into my office at the Matt Boudreau Agency Nationwide Insurance and we became friends, she would always brighten up my day. I will always cherish the wonderful talks we had , but most of all, I remember what a wonderful, loving woman she was and she will always have a special place in my heart.
