Ethel was born March 9, 1932 in Carrollton, MO, the daughter of Andrew W. and Rose Z. Mason Calvert. She was a member of Harrisburg Baptist Church for many years, before her failing health kept her from being able to attend. She was a generous and thoughtful woman who always had a gift to give for any occasion. She enjoyed playing cards with her friends and family, had a great sense of humor and was the self-proclaimed Yard Sale Queen. She could often be found watching Billy Graham or Walker Texas Ranger. Most of all, she loved to spend time with her grandchildren.
She is survived by her children Polly (Bill) Tusay of Belton, MO, Walli Brown of Mesa, AZ, Mike (Connie) Martin of Harrisonville, MO, Clif (Jamie) Martin of Garden City, MO, Jesse (Tracy) Martin of Lone Jack, MO, and Ruby (Rickie) Ray of Harrisburg, MO; grandchildren, Andy, Missy, Becky, Sonny, Tara, Cody, Cole, Alex, Jordan, Josh, Jessica, Miles, Presley, Shelbie, and Mackenzie; and 21 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her 5 brothers and sisters, and her parents.
