Ethel always put others first. She enjoyed spending time in the mountains, creating oil paintings, floral arrangement, fishing, writing verse and watching the Broncos (when they were winning). She always made the kids animal pancakes, we loved them!

Thank you for taking such good care of us, we miss you but are so thankful God has granted you clarity of mind and peace.
