On January 18, 2016, Ethel Mae Rhodes was called home after a long fight with Alzheimer’s. Ethel joins her beloved companion of more than 30 years, Donald Lehtola, who predeceased her on October 29, 2007. Ethel worked as a waitress in the food service industry for over 60 years, with nearly half of that time at the Dante Club. Ethel is survived by her 4 children, 8 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. Ethel will be remembered for her beauty and humor. At her request, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, any donations can be made to the N. Cal. Alzheimer’s Association, 2290 N. First St., Ste. 101, San Jose, CA 95131
