She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother peacefully completed her journey to her heavenly home on New Years Day January 1, 2009. She died at the Sequoyah Pointe Nursing Home in Owasso, OK. Ethel was 93 years old and had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for several years. She lived in Jackson/Pearl Mississippi for 52 years before moving to Tallahassee, Florida for 5 years and Owasso, OK for the past 3 years. She was a Church of Christ member for 80 years. As her time with us came to an end, we gained comfort and inspiration knowing that her faith in God was strong and she is now at peace in heaven.
Ethel was a certified nursing assistant in Jackson, Mississippi until the age of 80, when a car accident ended her nursing career. During W.W. II, Ethel worked at Firestone Tire Company in Memphis Tennessee, providing her country needed supplies for the war effort. During her active lifetime, she served her fellow man in whatever capacity needed while providing her friends and family with fresh vegetables from her enormous gardening capabilities.
