I have been privileged to know Etta for about ten years although it seemed like we had known each other always. She epitomized the word "friend" and listened and tried to help when you needed someone close. We shared a love of plants, the outdoors and birds as well as things handmade. Warm memories of tea time with Etta, her home and her heart a refuge, will always be with me. I miss her so.

Etta served as the Arlington County Public Schools Teacher Specialist for ESOL/HILT for many years. She was a visionary, a mentor and a friend to all of us who worked with her over the years. She was an exemplar of life-long-learning and being a contributor to the community and families in need of support for educating their children long after her official retirement. We treasure our memories of the time we had to be in her company and to be influenced by her spirit and commitment to...
