Estella Donna (Jaussi) McDougal

Estella McDougal, 53, of Idaho Falls, passed away at her home on January 8, 2022.

Estella Donna Jaussi McDougal was born in Malad, Idaho July 25, 1968. Those that knew her have remarked that she was always smiling, kind, and sought to do good and improve things around her.

She was also full of energy and had a love for life that few if any, could match. She was always to be found with her kids whether that be at the home, garden, or store, always keeping busy cooking, cleaning, and investing herself in the life of her kids.

Estella passed away peacefully at home in the early hours of the morning on January 8, 2022, at 53 years of age.

She is survived by her four children: Donna, Benjamin, Amber, and Brianne; her father Norman (Audrey) Jaussi; her siblings: Jeanene (Jim) VanEvery, Linda (Darrel) Christopher, Lynn Jaussi, William (Susan) Jaussi, Dale Jaussi, David (Amy) Jaussi, Mary (Jon) DeYoung, Barbara (Laramie) Patrick; and many nieces and nephews and some great-nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her mother, Lyda Jeanene Miller Jaussi.

Although young, she had lived life to the fullest giving all she had to her kids. On the other side of the veil, she is surely having fun continuing to do the things she loves.
