She was a devoted wife and mother to her three daughters. Ethelene, affectionately called “Mamaw” by her grandchildren and great grandchildren, remember her for her amazing Christmas morning breakfast tradition. Her faith and dependence on Christ were a witness to all who knew her. She was an active member of Daniel Memorial and Griffith Memorial Baptist Churches, where she faithfully served in the nursery. She loved her church family and her circle of close friends. After her daughter Vicki went to college she began a twenty-year career in banking at Deposit Guaranty National Bank.
