Ebba served as a Sunday school teacher, a member of the Ladies’ Aid Society, and bookkeeper and secretary for Kristoffersen Hardwood Flooring, of which Anders was owner and founder. She loved to welcome family, friends, and acquaintances into her home. Her life was a beautiful example of quiet and selfless love and care for her family and friends. Ebba was a woman of strong faith, who started each day reading the Bible and reflecting in prayer. Her perpetual joyful, giving, and fun spirit will live on in the many lives she had touched. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to Harvey Cedars Bible Conference, 12 Cedars Avenue, Harvey Cedars, NJ 08008, or online at HCBible.org.
