ed to the west edge of Atlantic where she resided until 2010, when she moved to Allen Place.
Ethel was a member of the United Church of Christ, where she was an active member serving in any way she could. She was also a member of the ETC Neighbor Ladies Club and the Moose Lodge where she held many different offices. During her kids childhood she served as a 4-H Leader for many years. She knew her way around the kitchen; always making delicious meals and took time to pass those skills and recipes on to her children. Ethel spent as much time as she could outdoors, whether it was working in the orchard or tending to her flower and vegetable gardens. They took many adventures camping, including a trip to Las Vegas and drove their van across the United States, coast to coast. She looked forward to visits to their home on Lake Panorama. In her later years, she enjoyed playing BINGO, knitting, crocheting, and quilting. Above all, Ethel loved her family and was quick to tell you how proud she was of her grandchildren.
