Ms. Ethen Mae Wright Crooks

Auntie you will be truly missed God got you now I know you're at Peace I love you 😘

Ms. Crooks was a passionate nursing leader who deeply admired the NCA&T School of Nursing. Her dedication to the nursing profession was unwavering, and she consistently sought ways to enhance the quality of care and practices. I had the privilege of engaging in numerous insightful conversations with her, during which we explored innovative strategies and shared advice on elevating nursing practices for the benefit of both patients and practitioners.

It is with great Sympathy and Condolences we send to the Crooks Family. What a great loss for the Aggie family and to all who knew her. Words cannot express what we are feeling. She was one of the greatest women on the Nursing Staff. Although our hearts are broken,God called her home. And now her body soul and mind is at Peace.

Dear Crooks Family, It is with a heavy heart that I write these words of sympathy. Ethel was a dynamic Aggie Nurse, friend, confidant, role model, superb historian and truly dedicated to her love, NCA&T School of Nursing. She did everything in her power to make sure the students continued to receive the highest training, support & scholarships for those in need so they could carry the torch (as she had done) of Aggie Nurse Excellence! Prayers for God's loving embrace to comfort you today & all the days ahead. Ethel will be forever loved & missed.🙏🏽💔🥲

Mrs Crooks was a faithful Aggie nurse and a strong supporter of the NC A&T School of Nursing. May she rest in peace.

Ethel's wisdom and history of the beginning days of the school of nursing at NC A&T State University will remain in perpetuity. She was a member of the first graduating class (1953-1957). She will be missed.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
