Ethel's family was her life and her legacy.  She loved her daughters and her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and she devoted her life to raising up and caring for her family.  Ethel was an outgoing soul who easily made friends and impacted the lives of those around her.  The family would like to extend gratitude to Triple Creek Retirement Community for the amazing care they provided Ethel in the nearly six years she called their facility home.  Triple Creek treated her like family, and we will always be grateful to Triple Creek for their excellent care for Ethel.
