Etta was an avid Stars Wars and Mandalorian fan. She loved to collect stones from every place she visited. Her favorite place to visit with family was Morro Bay, Ca. She could frequently be found dancing to Abba’s Voulez-Vous early in the morning with her daycare kids. She loved to dance. She had the most infectious laugh and gave the best hugs and advice when it was needed, and she always seemed to know the perfect time.
