Ethel kept in touch with all of the family, and she took pride in remembering everyone’s birthday. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and loved. She cherished every moment with them and would do anything to support and encourage the people she loved. Whether it was her infectious laughter, her caring nature, or her ability to turn any moment into a cherished memory. Ethel was a gift to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Beyond her devotion to family and friends, Ethel was a woman of many passions. She found joy in gardening, cooking, music, and going to church to serve the lord. She was also known to bust a move or two dancing.
