Ethel enjoyed playing poker machines, solitaire, watching the Game Show Network, and having the occasional martini. Although Ethel had no biological children of her own, she took pride in raising many, especially her nieces, Michelle and April, whom will miss her dearly. She was an amazing cook and if you left her house hungry that was your fault, as there was always plenty to eat. Everyone that knew Et was aware she had an open-door policy. Whether you needed a place to stay, a home-cooked meal, or a cocktail and chat, you could always count on Et. Ethel cherished the time she was able to spend with her family and friends. She especially enjoyed her time spent with her great-great nephews and niece, Parker, Bryer, Hayden, Drew, Kyven, Syver, & Zennia. Ethel will be terribly missed by all that knew her, she touched many hearts. "A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck, that's how much I love you." A celebration of Et's life will be held at 7:00pm, Thursday, October 11, 2018, at Sunset-Urbas Funeral Chapel, 414 S. State St., Westville, with Pastor James Blue officiating. Visitation will be held 4:00pm to 7:00pm on Thursday prior to her service at the funeral home.
