She was the daughter of John and Martha (Schilberg) Scutowich. Ella would eventually migrate to America where she met her future husband, James C. Goddard. After marrying James, they eventually found their roots in Miamisburg, OH. where they began to build their lives and family together.

Ella was also a dedicated volunteer for over 10 years for the Good Neighbor House.
