Ethel was an amazing person who raised two generations--children and grandchildren. She taught them to value themselves, respect others, and live a good life. They all could not have had a better role model. Rest in peace.

My Very Favorite Aunt...You gave me my Birth Name! Your Grace and style was impeccable. You were always in step with the times. You always did it your way and those of us who knew you was impacted by your energy and spirit. You embraced my beautiful Queen Frankie and treated her like not only family but a friend. Growing up with You , Chip, Tracy and Brad and of course Uncle Junnie were some of the most memorable times ever! Thank you for my infamous name (smile) I'll forever keep you in my heart. ....Van Maurice (Hooky) Archer.
