Ethel was born in St. Philips, Newfoundland on October 19, 1936.  She was the second of five children.

After finishing her high school education, she obtained her Teaching degree in Newfoundland.  She taught in Bell Island for a year and then she moved to Ontario.  She secured a position with Waterloo Trust which later became Canada Trust and worked in Customer Relations and Investment Sales until her retirement 30 years later.  She had many customers who raved about her level of service.  In fact, she used her skills filing income tax for many.

Ethel was a faithful member of the New Apostolic Church on Margaret Avenue for many years.  She had an unwavering faith.  Her family and church community brought her the greatest joy. 

Special thanks to the staff at St. Joseph’s Health center who treated Ethel with such kindness and gave her special care for almost six years.  The family had much peace knowing that she was in good hands.
