Not sure what to say?

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.

I worked with Ethel for about 10 yrs. She a real joy to be around, and she could cut up also. She always enjoyed coming to the card parties that the drivers would have on Friday nights She will be missed by all.

I don't remember a world without Ethyl. As a little girl, I delivered her newspaper to her for many years. Later we wound up driving together as our lifetime work experience. She was a character. She would place a protective arm around me and introduce me, telling the story of my being there when her kids were toddlers peeking at me as I collected for the paper. She had special ways of keeping the kids on her bus in line. She would take out her reddest lipstick, make a splashy deal...

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...

Ethel love to bake!!! she would bring in the best rolls and bread in to work, so we would spend hours playing cards and eating rolls,

Ethel (gramma), you will be missed for sure! You made SUCH a difference in my life. :) Love Karen
