She was a devoted homemaker before beginning a career with the Yellow Front Corporation, where she worked for many years.
After retirement, she and George enjoyed traveling in their RV. They later became snowbirds, spending their summers in New York and enjoying life in their fifth-wheel trailer.
Ethel enjoyed reading, crocheting, playing the piano, and playing Mexican Train.
Ethel was a kind and gentle woman who will be deeply missed by her family and friends. We were truly blessed to call her Mom, Grandma, Sister, and Aunt.
A Celebration of Life and interment will be held October 2nd at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.
My grandmother was always kind. I regret that I wasn’t able to know her in my childhood years. Grandma told me that she never quit praying for me after my mother left with me from Arizona when I was eighteen months old. I will always be thankful to Lord Jesus for a grandma who never forget about me after all those years that I was missing. I loved my Grandma. She was a beautiful woman.
