I worked with Ethel for about 10 yrs at PPS. She was a joy to be around and a fun loving person. She always loved the bus drives card parties. She also enjoyed cutting up once in awhile. She will be truly missed.

Ethel was a true friend; we had so much fun, paying cards and bingo. She loves her kids and the kids on her bus, Ethel you will always be in my heart. She would see the beauty in everyone regardless of where they've been. She would share her gifts and talents; listen with her heart. She would bake things for people to show them someone cares for you, GOOD BYE MY DEAR FRIEND, LOVE YOU!!!!
Life is a miracle, don't let it slip away.
Open your heart to others; give of yourself each...
