Ethel was predeceased by her loving husband, Jack, in 2001. Jack’s sudden death was very hard on Ethel but her love for her family and friends gave her the strength to carry on.
Ethel was born November 7, 1934 in Hythe, Alberta. As a young child her family moved to Prince George, BC and then to Kamloops, BC in 1950. Ethel graduated from Kamloops High School in 1952 and then went on to St. Ann’s Academy and took business classes. In her early years, Ethel worked for Woolworths, the City of Kamloops and then BC Hydro.
Ethel met Jack, and they married on March 17, 1956, in Kamloops. It is there that they built a life together and raised their children. Ethel’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family especially the grandsons once they came along.
When Ethel’s health declined, her children decided to move her to Dunrovin Lodge in Quesnel where she could receive the care she needed and be close to her daughter, Debbie.
