Ella Kanner Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Ella Kanner of Palm Beach, Florida, who passed away on May 9, 2026, at the age of 95, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
Though Ella may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Ella touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
Asked during the Covid lockdown whether the isolation was difficult, she replied, "No. Compared to Hitler, Covid was a walk in the park.".
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Ella's memory may be made to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (ushmm.org).
