Everyone who’s life she touched will remember her as the ‘Queen,’ the belle of the ball, the life of the party, the comedian and zinger of one-liners, an incredible singer and dancer, the lover of music, sports, laughter and smiles, possessing incredible strength those close to her have witnessed and appreciated most the last few years.

Ethel will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband, Robert, at Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville during a private ceremony on July 28th.
