Born March 31, 1936, in Lynn, Massachusetts, Ethel was a proud alumna of Lynn Classical High School, developing a foundation that supported her throughout her life. Her true vocation in life was her family, whom she nurtured with love and dedication as a loving daughter, sister, wife, and mother.

Ethel lived a remarkable life from humble beginnings in the depression era to be able to live/travel throughout the country and the world. Her life was one of vibrant engagement with the world through her many travels and journeys that brought her much happiness, whether it be a simple drive in the country or a glorious trip to her homeland of Greece, allowing her to connect with people from all walks of life. Settling in Florida in her golden years, her fondness for the the joyous camaraderie of her bingo outings or surfing her social media became her new passions to connect with others.

While Ethel’s presence will be deeply missed, her spirit will live on in the memories of her loved ones and the many lives she touched.
