Publish in a newspaper
A native of Moore County, Ethel was the daughter of the late Hobart and Effie Bullins Lawson. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, John Thomas Games, and her son, Steven McIntosh. Ethel lived a simple and joyful life. She loved to share laughter with her family and friends and found great enjoyment in crocheting and working puzzles. She also liked to fish and had a special love for her animals. Above all, her greatest joy was her family, whom she cherished deeply.
Ethel is survived by her daughters, Loretta Games and Betty Garner; sons, John Games, Jr. (Helen Sullivan Games), Dickie Lee Games, Ben Games, and Billy Games. She also has five beautiful grandchildren.
Graveside services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, September 26, 2025, at New Home Baptist Church Cemetery 1000 Lobelia Road, Vass, NC 28394 with Pastor John Stinnett officiating.
